b. Development of world’s first porous liquid
c. Both of the above
d. None of the above
ANSWER: Development of world’s first porous liquid
Scientists have made a scientific breakthrough to discover the world’s first porous liquid which can be used for capturing harmful carbon emissions and eliminate them from entering the atmosphere of the earth. Queens University and University of Liverpool researchers along with global partners developed the new liquid and found that it can dissolve unusually large amount of gas, which are absorbed into the `holes' in the liquid. Research could pave the way for greener chemical processes. Till recently, porous materials have only been solid
