Trippy liquid 'fireworks' appear when scientists try to mix unmixable fluidsWhen two fluids don't mix well, they sometimes form strange patterns called "viscous fingering," or Saffman-Taylor instability. Studying these patterns can help scientists understand how to design systems for carbon storage, a key part of managing climate change.

Scientists invent photosynthetic 'living' material that sucks CO2 out of the atmosphereScientists have developed a material with photosynthetic bacteria that convert carbon dioxide into a mineral skeleton. The material hardens over time, so it could be used for buildings, they say.
