Scientists Developed Artificial Leaf: It Sucks CO2 Out of the Air & Produces Clean Energy
A group of scientists recently developed a so-called artificial leaf which is able to turn carbon dioxide into fuel. The new tech was inspired by the plants’ usage of photosynthesis to transform CO2 into oxygen and glucose. This artificial leaf mimics this process using cheap red powder known as cuprous […]
Self-Regenerating Rubber Pavement Wins Mexican James Dyson Award
A Mexican student and winner of the James Dyson Award for 2019, Israel Antonio Briseno Carmona came up with an invention for a tire-based pavement that can be repaired with rain, rather than being damaged from it as it’s usually the case. The student from the Coahuila Autonomous University made […]
