A glimpse into the lab of Professor Jenny Yang of the UCI Department of Chemistry, where one of Yang's Ph.D. students, Allie Zito, works to make technology that can pluck planet-warming carbon dioxide straight out of the air. The research is part of the university's Solutions that Scale initiative, which aims to support research with the potential to help solve global problems like climate change.
