China's Long Roadway to Carbon Nonpartisanship Will Reshape World Economic Situation
China's current pledge to achieve carbon neutrality prior to 2060 has shocked the world. As the globe's biggest carbon emitter and energy consumer, China's yet-unknown path to carbon nonpartisanship is certain to interrupt the world's energy economic climate from Dhahran to Queensland to Sand Hill Road and everywhere in between.

Carbon nanotubes increase effectiveness in "nanobionic" bacterial solar cells
Designers at EPFL have actually discovered a way to insert carbon nanotubes right into photosynthetic bacteria, which significantly improves their electric output. They also pass these nanotubes down to their offspring when they split, through what the group calls "inherited nanobionics."
