Tiny carbon-capturing motors may help tackle rising carbon dioxide levels
San Diego CA (SPX) Sep 25, 2015 - Machines that are much smaller than the width of a human hair could one day help clean up carbon dioxide pollution in the oceans. Nanoengineers at the University of California, San Diego have designed enzyme-functionalized micromotors that rapidly zoom around in water, remove carbon dioxide and convert it into a usable solid form. The proof of concept study represents a promising route to ... more
