I  just read the news that researchers/scientists from Kyoto University have come up with a polymer membrane called PIM-1, which is embedded with a network of channels and cavities less than two nanometres in diameter that can trap any gases of interest once they enter. It is hoped the findings may one day lead to lower greenhouse gas emissions and purer skies.

This polymer skin/membrane filters gases, such as carbon dioxide, out of the atmosphere while allowing oxygen to pass through it.

Researchers believe their polymer membrane, known as PIM-1, will play a vital role in tackling global warming in the future.
