Today, in crazy #SciFi research - reinventing #photosynthesis . This type of Cu–Pd disordered network metamaterials can convert #CO2 into simple organic molecules by interaction with light, but it needs to be rather hot (225–300 °C). Can't but think of the Interesting implication for #xenobiology, in addition to what it can do for matter synthesis.
