What is marimo? Marimo is arguably one of nature’s most bizarre creations. Commonly known as algae balls or moss balls, these algae bundles are typically found on lake floors in Japan and Northern Europe. Their fuzzy spherical shape is the result of gentle currents rolling the … [Read more...] about This bio-rover is essentially driven by a marimo ball

Device mimics photosynthesis to convert sunlight and CO2 into clean fuel
Producing clean fuels that have a minimal carbon footprint is an arduous task as current techniques also create by-products in the process, making it difficult and expensive to filter them out. That may no longer be the case soon thanks to a team of scientists from the … [Read more...] about Device mimics photosynthesis to convert sunlight and CO2 into clean fuel
Bionic leaf is 10 times better at photosynthesis than real plants
Plants take in carbon dioxide, water, and sunshine to create a sugary fuel. Now researchers have done the same, but even better. … [Read more...] about Bionic leaf is 10 times better at photosynthesis than real plants
Innovative material regenerates itself by absorbing carbon dioxide from the air
Scientists at MIT have developed a pioneering material that absorbs carbon dioxide from the air and uses it to restore itself. The material, which undergoes a chemical reaction similar to the process of photosynthesis in plants, could be used to make pavement that heals itself. … [Read more...] about Innovative material regenerates itself by absorbing carbon dioxide from the air
