  • Australian scientists have created a device that collects carbon dioxide from the air and turns it into usable electricity.
  • The device has not yet been named and is not yet commercially available, but it could be used to charge smaller devices and electronics.
  • The group of researchers are now focusing on reducing costs to bring the technology to market.
