New technology converts a component of natural gas, methane (left), to methanol (right), using the P450BM3 enzyme (middle, grey) with a decoy molecule (middle, colored). This method can be a cheap and effective mean of reducing the carbon footprint of natural gas.

A University of Chicago study found links at the atomic level between photosynthesis and exciton condensates—a strange state of physics that allows energy to flow frictionlessly through a material. The finding is scientifically intriguing and may suggest new ways to think about designing electronics, the authors said.

Map of percentage change in transportation energy burden from current on-road vehicle stock to a new battery-electric vehicle. Negative percentages indicate energy cost savings for EVs compared to gasoline powered vehicles. Areas with the greatest savings, shown in green, include the West Coast states and parts of the East and South. Transportation energy burden is the percentage of household income spent on fueling with gasoline or charging with electricity. Adapted from Vega-Perkins et al. in Environmental Research Letters, January 2023.

EV transition will benefit most US vehicle owners, but lowest-income Americans could get left behind
