Carbon Dioxide Converts into Fuel

Scientists have developed tiny nano particles that turned carbon dioxide into fuel using light.
As per researchers, carbon dioxide converts into methane, a key building block for many types of fuels, by using only ultraviolet light as an energy source.
After having found a catalyst that can do this important chemistry using ultraviolet light, researchers hope to develop a version that would run on natural sunlight, a potential boon to alternative energy.

Seven Earth-sized Planets Spotted

Scientists have spotted seven Earth-sized planets, with mass similar to Earth, orbiting around a dwarf star the size of Jupiter, just 39 light years from the Sun.
The planets’ temperature is low enough to make possible the presence of liquid water on their surface.
This is the first time we have so many Earth-like planets found around a star.
