University of California at Berkeley 's Yaghi lab has designed a material that quickly sucks carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

The material is a new type of material made out of microscopic pores called a covalent organic framework or COF for short.

The filter could be used on an industrial scale to capture carbon at industrial sites.

COF removes as much carbon dioxide as a full-grown tree in a year .
