A new air filtration system with a magnetic-bearing blower has been installed on the International Space Station. The carbon dioxide scrubber could advance life support for astronauts on the moon.

A malfunctioning CO2 scrubber led to a catastrophic event, killing half the crew. Discover the chilling details of how this life-support system became a deadly trap.

A new machine designed to “suck” carbon dioxide from the air could help in the fight to save the world from climate change, according to physicists. UK News Website of the Year 2024 Search Icon ...

Carbon dioxide scrubbers have been around since the 1800s, when commercial divers used them to extend their oxygen supply underwater. The technology got another boost when humans launched ...

Komar Kawatra couldn't be prouder of the students on his research team at Michigan Technological University -- because they've developed a CO2 scrubber in-house.

It’s a bit more complex than that, involving several more “chemical intermediaries,” but the point is it can remove a ton of carbon dioxide using less than 100 kWh of electricity.

The environmental system in the LM depended on two lithium hydroxide (LiOH) filters to remove excess carbon dioxide (exhaled by humans as part of normal respiration) from the atmosphere. But with ...
