Compared with standard portable generators, CO emissions from the prototype machines were reduced by 90 percent or more, depending on the specific hardware…

It’s a computer algorithm that can model and catalogue the entire set of lightweight, carbon-containing molecules that chemists could feasibly create in a lab.The small-molecule universe has more than 10^60 (that’s 1 with 60 zeroes after it) chemical structures. Duke chemist David Beratan said that many of the world’s problems have molecular solutions in this chemical space, whether it’s a cure for disease or a new material to capture sunlight. …
