Molecules of carbon-60, also known as Becky balls, have been combined with amines to obtain a compound that absorbs carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas, in an amount equal to a fifth of its weight. The material has the potential to be used as an environmentally friendly solution for carbon capture from emissions originating from natural gas wells and industrial plant chimneys.
