For the first time, researchers have shown that they can capture CO2 from the air, and convert it directly into methanol, which can then be used as an alternative fuel, as well as for hydrogen storage, in fuel cells, or as a building block for plastic.
In 1655 the English mathematician John Wallis published a book in which he derived a formula for pi as the product of an infinite series of ratios. Now researchers from the University of Rochester, in a surprise discovery, have found the same formula in quantum mechanical calculations of the energy levels of a hydrogen atom.
(Lucy in the sky with diamonds....?)
UK billionaire is using entirely renewable sources to make "sky diamonds" from captured CO2 and hydrogen from rainwater...
The CVD technology they use is not new but the idea of mining diamonds from the sky is cool!
