Scientists create carbon nanotubes out of plastic waste using an energy-efficient, low-cost, low-emissions process. Compared to commercial methods for carbon nanotube production that are being used right now, ours uses about 90% less energy and generates 90%-94% less carbon dioxide news.rice.edu Submitted by Wagamaga t3_116els6 on February 19, 2023 at 3:30 PM in science 59 comments 4,188
