Blanch asparagus in a hot pan with olive oil and lay it over the oatmeal — #asparagusEggOatmeal Researchers at UC Riverside recently announced in the June issue of the journal Nature Food that they succeeded in developing a highly energy-efficient food production system by linking artificial photosynthesis with living organisms. The researchers developed a highly efficient catalyst that uses light, water, and carbon dioxide to produce acetate through artificial photosynthesis. Acetate, made of just two carbon atoms, functions almost like a cure-all in living organisms. They fed this lab-made acetate to a range of organisms — algae, yeast, mushrooms, lettuce, rice, rapeseed, and tomatoes. These organisms not only used the absorbed acetate as an energy source but also converted it into amino acids, sugars, and other biomolecules to grow and multiply. As a result, they thrived even without any light at all. Kang Seok-gi, Can Artificial Photosynthesis Rescue Us From the Energy and Food Crisis? In Jang Kang-myoung's #LetsBecomeATree, featured in #SeoulReviewofBooks, a 'green life surgery' implants photosynthesis-capable cells into the human body through genetic modification. Turns out it wasn't pure imagination after all,
