An innovative paint that contains oxygen-producing bacteria capable of capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) has been created by scientists from the University of Surrey. Researchers suggest this paint, known as a 'biocoating,' could be used in extreme environments, such as space stations. This study was published in the journal Microbiology Spectrum.
