Episode 43 - Pollution Solutions
01/04/17 10:45 Filed in: Technology
This week we go over a few of the ways people are tackling air pollution and excess carbon. Making ink from soot, making diamonds from CO2, and more.
Also, mammal cells turned into computer circuits, and NASA's Cassini probe final mission.
