A research team reports an unconventional reversible chemical reaction in a confined nanoenvironment. The discovery, a milestone in clarifying the scientific underpinnings of moisture-swing chemical reaction, is critical to understanding how to scrub carbon dioxide from Earth's atmosphere; the researchers have already used it to capture carbon dioxide more efficiently and at a much lower cost than other methods.
