The Australian Discovery That Could Replace Fossil Fuels
Australian scientists have developed a new efficient catalyst that converts carbon dioxide from the air into synthetic natural gas in a "clean" process, using solar energy.
While the bread and butter of Gizmodo UK is in the bits and bytes of technology, we have a lot of fun in the off-topic areas, with many of the stories being filed in the WTF category. Bookmark this page for the sillier stories, from ridiculous examples of body-art, to... sausages made of skittles?

Uranus is the loneliest thing in the solar system. It hasn’t had contact with anyone in over 30 years.
The solution can be made from plastic.
There’s more to this delicious and surprisingly healthy condiment than meets the eye.
Its discovery has prompted an archaeological expedition.
The corpses of thousands of wildebeast is a significant chunk of biomass, and the many scavenging animals who make the Serengeti their home take full advantage.
See that faint, blue dot in the middle of this NASA image? That’s the Curiosity rover making its way up the rocky slopes of Mount Sharp.
This research, of course, is preliminary, though other scientists have said it is encouraging.
