Martian colonists could use an innovative new technique to harvest energy from carbon dioxide thanks to research pioneered at Northumbria and Edinburgh Universities. The technique, has been proven for the first time by researchers at the two universities and the work has been published in the prestigious journal Nature Communications.
The research proposes a new kind of engine for producing energy based on the Leidenfrost effect(phenomenon which happens when a liquid comes into near contact with a surface much hotter than its boiling point)
