At the end of the 18th century, economist Thomas Malthus famously predicted that unchecked population growth would one day outstrip food production. It sparked a school ... Continue Reading →
Instead of relying on the sun to fuel growth, this system uses solar panels to power a reaction that combines water and carbon dioxide (CO₂) to produce acetate —a simple molecule that genetically modified plants can absorb and use as food.
