Scientists discover how to make alcohol out of air
In an interesting article scientists have discovered how to make alcohol out of thin air. The process involves repurposing carbon dioxide into useful chemicals.
What Ming Ma has done is come up a new method for controlling a process called electroreduction, which is used in CCU to turn CO2 into other kinds of molecules.
Ma's PhD thesis, which is being defended this week – one of the stages in receiving the academic qualification – describes at the nanoscale level how different metals used during electroreduction can be used to produce different chemical results.
I don't know the impact of this result politically or practically. The process is interesting because it seems to be able to use electroreduction to change at the nano scale level CO2 (carbon dioxide gas) into alcohol or perhaps even other chemicals.
Good information!
So hopefully people will not need to spend too much money at the bar since they will be able to make their drinks out of thin air :-).
ur avatar photo looks like @fulltimegeek !
and hey this is real alchemy we can soon make repurpose all sorts of molecules now its caled picotech like nano but pico
we will turn silicon into gold , sand into gold...gold prices will drop but bitcoin & steem will remain valuable!
I ove your blog.i always resteemed your post
I would try it!
good post
Actually getting high off life!
The process of producing complex substances from simple molecules using Atomically Precise Manufacturing methods could be a catalyst for future technologies such as replication.
A glimpse into the future!
They try figured out to reduce carbon emission?
This would be cool if you can make a car that can make alcohol out of air, then use that as a fuel, helping clean up the atmosphere.
It Sound like Research is still under Progress !
