<ul><li>Scientists have found a new way to fight climate change—by turning carbon dioxide (CO₂) into strong, fire-resistant building materials.</li><li>Inspired by coral reefs, this method captures CO₂ from the air and uses it to create durable materials, potentially making buildings carbon-negative.</li><li>The process involves 3D-printing polymer scaffolds, coating them with a conductive layer, and placing them in a calcium solution where CO₂ reacts with calcium to form stone-like materials.</li><li>The material is fire-resistant, self-healing, and has a negative carbon footprint, making it a potential game-changer for eco-friendly construction.</li></ul>
