Chinese scientists have successfully synthesized sugar from carbon dioxide in a controlled laboratory setting, marking a significant advancement in artificial sugar production. Groundbreaking study: The research, published last week in the journal Chinese Science Bulletin, is the result of a collaboration between the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology and the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics. After over two years of extensive experimentation, the research team managed to address the challenges posed by conventional sugar extraction methods.
