Researchers at Edinburgh’s Heriot-Watt University have been awarded €3m ($3.3m) by CO2 to 3D print “smart rocks” that could help with the capture and storage of carbon dioxide (the European Research Council), as the team learns how liquids and gases travel through underground rocks. Professor Mercedes Maroto-Valer said: “This fundamental knowledge at such a tiny scale will feed hugely into our understanding of such processes at the large scale”. Professor Maroto-Valer and her team beat off almost 2,000 rivals to be one of 16 recipients of the award.
