A Coal Plant in India Is Turning CO2 Into Baking Soda The new method of carbon capture is cheaper, cleaner, and more efficient than the industry standard In India, one company, CarbonClean, has developed a new way to remove carbon dioxide from the environment, by  turning it into baking soda . CarbonClean is using their new technology at a coal-fired power plant in the city of Tuticorin. The company claims that they can trap more than 66,000 tons of carbon per year at the plant. Like most CO2 capture technologies, CarbonClean's method uses a solvent that traps the CO2 and converts it into a more inert form. The most common industrial solvent is amine, while CarbonClean's solvent is a new chemical that is slightly more efficient at capturing CO2. It's also c heaper and less corrosive, while the required machinery is smaller and cheaper to build. Crucially, the chemical's small extra capturing efficiency allows CarbonClean to earn enough money to run the p

This Device Cleans Air and Makes Fuel at the Same Time. A new device can remove pollutants from the air and generates hydrogen gas as a useful byproduct. The looming environmental crisis is a double threat. Not only is our planet is warming due to our overuse of fossil fuels, but our water and air is also growing ever more polluted. Cleaning up the Earth will require tackling both of these issues. But perhaps we can tackle both of these issues at the same time. One group of researchers at the University of Antwerp and KU Leuven think they've found a way to do just that. The researchers  built a device  that uses chemical reactions to purify the air of harmful pollutants and simultaneously produces hydrogen gas, which can be used as a fuel.

Get 216 awe-inspiring magnetic spheres that bend to your will . Nanodots Are the Magnetic Desktop Toy Whether you're a molecular engineer looking to model ethylbenzene stable glass formation, or a graphic designer seeking a fun desk toy to fidget with, you'll be drawn to Nanodots. These super-strong magnetic spheres can be used to make some impressive structures. Each Nanodot is precision-milled from sintered neodymium-iron-boron, granting them the attractive power of the strongest permanent magnets on earth. So strong, in fact, that they can lift 1,000 times their own weight, and they will remain magnetic for over 20,000 years. They're engineered to hold up to impact and corrosion, and their coatings are antibacterial—so you needn't worry about passing them around to all your curious coworkers.

How can you get these nuts off a double-headed bolt? There's nothing complicated about a simple nut and bolt pairing, but this isn't your average nut and bolt.  The "Nut Case" puzzle  by Hanayama takes the form of an apparently unsolvable problem: two freely twistable nuts trapped on a bolt with a head on either side. There's more to it than meets the eye, of course, and if you know what you're doing you can not only free both of the nuts, but also use the whole mechanism to hide something small. Mr. Puzzle gives a rundown of exactly what this puzzle appears to be at first blush and, if you're willing to have the mystery spoiled, what it  really  is on the inside: The trick to disassembling the puzzle relies on not one but two hidden bits of unusual design, one on the bolt and one on the nuts. Spoilers ahead, so beware!

Watch This RC Car Walk on Water If you build a car that's light enough, fast enough, and has enough surface area to its wheels , it will be able to travel on the surface of water. Take this one, for example: It looks to be a Slash 4x4 built by Traxxas, which is built to be waterproof and is fully customizable. According to  Autoblog , all you need to turn a Slash into a water-friendly hydroplaning beast are paddle tires intended for sand, Traxxas' optional high-speed gearing, and a Power Cell 3s LiPo battery. Hopefully, someone customizes an RC Weinermobile to match its specs.
