While trying to develop waste-to-fuel technology, scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory accidentally found an electrochemical process that uses tiny spikes of carbon and copper to turn carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into ethanol. Their finding, which involves nanofabrication and catalysis science, was serendipitous.

This advance could be a real game changer.
