On May 29th, the HELICOSS project was showcased at Lavrič Square in Ajdovščina as part of a public science outreach event. Dr. Sebastjan Nemec demonstrated the synthesis of innovative photothermally active CO₂ monolithic sorbents and explained how their unique properties are studied. A laser setup was installed on-site, allowing passers-by to witness firsthand how light can be transformed into heat — a key principle behind the project’s approach to efficient CO₂ desorption.
