MIT Research Unravels New Physics Behind Flow Mechanism in Porous Material

A new approach to restrict man-made greenhouse gases from flowing into the atmosphere has more potential over other approaches. The approach recommends that the gases be captured at chief sources, such as fossil-fuel-burning power plants, and then be injected into deep, water-saturated rocks where they can remain stably trapped for several centuries.
