Today’s Solutions: January 29, 2025

Graphene is a strong and wonderfully versatile material that might help produce drinking water on the cheap, turn carbon dioxide into liquid fuels and build batteries. And just recently, scientists at the University of Chicago have found that it can also help to detect cancer. Apparently, the atoms that make up graphene become disrupted when they come into contact with a cancerous cell. Through the use of graphene, scientists can spot a single cancerous cell amongst a sea of healthy cells. Although more research must be done on the use of graphene, it could be used one day to help doctors diagnose patients with cancer quicker.
