In recent decades, since we realized that the deterioration of the environment was caused almost entirely by human activities, various discussions on the climate have not stopped. At the same time, since then, researchers in various fields have hoped to contribute to improving the environment and work hard to study how to reduce industrial carbon emissions.
For example, the newly developed leaf molecules.

The international team led by chemist Li Liangshi from Indiana University's Bloomington has discovered a new method for how to better and more efficiently recover carbon dioxide from Earth's atmosphere.
Through the role of light and electricity, this new molecule, developed by Li Liangshi's team, can convert “infamous†greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, into carbon monoxide, which is by far the most effective way to reduce carbon emissions.
At the same time, the carbon monoxide produced by this molecule can be used again as a fuel, and the combustion of carbon monoxide releases a large amount of energy, as well as the resultant carbon dioxide.
However, according to the law of conservation of energy, the energy required to convert carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide is equivalent to the energy released from the combustion of carbon monoxide, so the process of this cycle is theoretically very likely to lead to an increase in carbon dioxide.
If the efficiency of the chemical reaction of carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide cannot be improved, this method will only fail.

This is also the focus and highlight of Li Liangshi's team work. By using solar energy and improving the efficiency of this conversion cycle, the purpose of reducing the above-mentioned increase in carbon dioxide is finally achieved.
The structure of this leaf molecule is the same as that of nanometer monolayer graphene. It is black to the outside and absorbs a large amount of sunlight. Then the helium element (No. 75 element) in this molecular complex is used as the “engine†of the chemical reaction and can trigger carbon dioxide. Converts carbon monoxide into efficient reactions.
So, this new molecule is expected to help us solve the carbon dioxide-induced greenhouse gas effect.
We also know that since the industrial revolution, in the past 150 years, the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere has risen from 280 parts per million to 400 parts per million, which means that the atmosphere is now in the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide content is about 1.5 times that before the industrial revolution. This figure has to draw human attention and vigilance.
Scientific researchers agree that greenhouse gases released by human activities increase the Earth’s temperature by as much as 95%.
Although Li Liangshi is very pleased that this new molecule can effectively reduce the increase in greenhouse gases, he hopes that in the future research, this leaf molecule can be improved so that it can stably exist in a non-liquid form.
Of course, the entire team is also trying to use manganese to replace the lanthanum element in the leaf molecules to achieve the same function, because manganese is more common than lanthanum, and has the potential to be widely used and promoted in the market.
However, even without these improvements, this leaf molecule can still play a significant role in preventing climate change.
Take-up block housing also known as take-up Bearing Housing.
Take-up block housing / take-up bearing housing is a commonly used blocks in manufacturing, mining, and construction industries for mounting self-aligning ball or spherical roller bearings with adapter sleeves or cylindrical bores. They are designed for use on conveyors, dryers, road building equipment, run-out tables, fans, crushers, hammer mills, and many other high-precision, heavy duty applications.
