A group of scientists working with nanoscience developed nanosponges that are able to neutralize number of toxins in mice. Even after the mice were given lethat toxins, they were not affected as nanosponges could neutralize the toxins.

Research - Converting Carbon Dioxide to Car Fuel through Microorganisms

2013

Dr. Michale D. Adams of Geogia University and Dr. R. Kelly of  North Carolina State University, engineered Pyrococcus furiosus, a bacteria which grows on sugars at temperatures of about 100 degrees Celsius (boiling point of water) and made it active at much lower temperatures – around 73 degrees Celsius. At this temperature it produces useful products by converting carbon dioxide. The scientists are trying to get car fuel out of this organism in a scalable way.
