The technology can process plastic into fuel that can substitute diesel used in generators, furnaces and engines.

The material has been designed by depositing a polymeric nano-complex on a polyurethane based stretchable fibrous substrate.

The new composite material is made of graphene and alloy of platinum and palladium in the form of nanoparticles. The use of metal particle of certain orientation which absorb or interact with CO at lower energy helped the conversion.

The bag charges the light with solar power whenever exposed to sunlight. The LED light then can be used whenever needed.

With over 9,175 cases of Chikungunya recorded in India, the virus has no cure or anti-viral vaccinations. This might change as this scientific breakthrough will bring about a needed cure for the virus in the future.
