Swiss startup company Climeworks launched a factory which extracts carbon dioxide from the air, stores it underground, and sells it to paying customers in a bid to tackle climate change and global carbon emissions. The Climeworks plant is the first commercial project that will remove CO2 by drawing ambient carbon dioxide from the air using direct air capture technology.
Yes, this is a human ear growing on a human arm. Plastic surgeon Guo Shuzhong conducted one of the world's first successful ear to arm transplant operations on Wednesday, giving his patient the hope that he will be able to hear again from an ear made of his own flesh. His patient, Mr. Ji, lost his ear in the traffic accident and felt 'incomplete'. Due to the tree-step operation, he may be able to hear again with an artificial one, if it can be successfully re-attached to his head. The ear was made out of the patient's rib cartilage and then planted on his right arm at a hospital in Xi'an, China. It may be only 4 months before Mr. Ji has his ear again.
