What can turn CO2 gas into stone, which could then be used for buildings

-
Carbon dioxide usually floats away into the sky, but a tiny soil bacterium has a different plan. Under the right conditions, it converts the gas into solid limestone. The trick belongs to  Bacillus megaterium , and a new study shows how the microbe locks away carbon with remarkable efficiency. Bacteria turn carbon into limestone fast Inside sealed flasks pressurized with carbon dioxide at more than 470 times atmospheric levels, the bacteria precipitated calcium carbonate with 94 percent of its carbon coming directly from the gas. Such efficiency dwarfs that of most engineered sorbents. “We know that dozens of bacteria have the potential to mineralize crystals. He argues that harnessing one that eats carbon directly will simplify industrial roll‑out. That performance matters because the most polluting industries need options at the smokestack, not halfway around the world. A biological process that makes rock on demand could fit into cement plants, steel mills, or even soil sta...

Imagine you have ordered something of your choice and received food that you don't like, yet you eat it with fun and pay for it equally by offering tip too. Confused 🤔 but this is true instance of one restaurant in Northern State of Mizoram, where people with alzheimer are employed. They forget what customers order and often wrong orders are served, yet knowing this bug, people love to visit the restaurant and relish their food without any complaint.

It's our perspective to judge, preview and open up the path of devotion...

Constitutions' two words are burning debates being secular or socialist or obsolete both

Recent instances of Bengal, Bangladesh and Pahlegram where religion based terrorism has happened. Attacked and killed in the name of religion. Such incidents are penetrating several if and buts what exactly the scenario globally and nation wide going on. Spreading hatedness or religion discrimination, debates cooked and gazing into heavy arguments. Keeping country first goal and endeavour to achieve the best for nation is always a priority.  Recently, RSS and the vice president are among those who have recently batted for deleting ‘socialist’ and ‘secular’ from the Preamble of the Constitution. Their arguments echo those made earlier – that Indira Gandhi inserted these adjectives during Emergency in 1976, and that such descriptors were not considered necessary by the constituent assembly. The Supreme Court has maintained both terms have distinct Indian contexts; that they capture the spirit of the Constitution, are part of basic structure doctrine, and cannot be equated with Wester...
