- The IIT-Madras team created ‘space fuel’ by trapping carbon dioxide in crystalline form with the help of water molecules.
- This would in future help to curb greenhouse gases.
- This was made in vacuum, 1 thousand billion times below the atmospheric pressure called ultra-high vacuum (UHV) and temperature close to minus 263 degree Celsius.
- These conditions are present in deep space which they mimicked in the lab.
- The Study was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
