It is known of all that those who best know how to get sunlight are plants through photosynthesis, a process through which plants obtain nutrients from sunlight.

Now new competition has come out, it is a system based on bacteria and nanowires that capture the energy of the sun and water to convert them into organic molecules and oxygen.

Nanowires are silicon strands one-hundredth of the width of a human hair, used in this particular experiment as lead wires.

This system achieves an efficiency of 3.6% in the conversion, which is a milestone if we consider that sugar cane has an efficiency of 4 or 5% converting CO2 into sugar.

The system works like the photosynthesis of plants with the difference that a two-carbon molecule called acetate is produced here, essentially acetic acid or vinegar.

These acetate molecules can be used to create a wide variety of organic molecules, from fuels and plastics to medicines.

Furthermore, this system could be useful both on Earth to remove CO2 from the atmosphere and for Mars, where it could provide future colonists with the raw material to manufacture organic compounds.

This will undoubtedly be good news for our friend Greta Thunderberg, who is so affected by the increase in CO2 and climate change.

Fortunately, there are always people who really care about things and do something to change them, although, unfortunately, these are never discussed in the establishment news.
