Quantum tunneling is believed to have played a role in the early universe by allowing particles to pass through energy barriers. This phenomenon has implications for understanding cosmic inflation, the formation of the universe, and the behavior of matter under extreme conditions.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies have progressed from experimental to early commercial stages. Pilot projects worldwide demonstrate increased efficiency in capturing CO2 emissions from industrial sources, power plants, and even direct air capture. Advances in solvents and sorbents have lowered operational costs, while modular and scalable designs facilitate broader adoption. Governments and international bodies now provide financial incentives, regulations, and carbon pricing mechanisms to promote CCS deployment. However, challenges remain, including high energy requirements for CO2 capture, storage safety, and long-term monitoring. Integrating CCS with utilization technologies, such as converting captured CO2 into building materials or fuels, adds economic viability. Despite hurdles, CCS is increasingly seen as a critical tool for achieving net-zero emissions targets.
