A Boston College team of researchers has developed an alternative means using a unique semi-metal that intrinsically generates direct current through the nonlinear mixing of the waves of light. Typically, light is converted to electricity by chemically altering a semiconductor to have a built-in electric field. The recently discovered Weyl semimetal delivers the largest intrinsic […]

Making Coal From CO2 On The Cheap
March 5, 2019 | 2 Comments
Researchers at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia have used liquid metals to turn carbon dioxide back into solid coal, in a world-first breakthrough that could transform our approach to carbon capture and storage. CO2 recycling may well have its breakout technology. The RMIT led research team development is a new technique that can efficiently convert […]
