Wildfire smoke is teeming with them. Researchers have employed them to develop energy-dense biofuels like rocket, marine, and jet fuels. Scientists have engineered rice paddies that interact differently with them, causing lower methane "burping." They can be used to extract valuable metals like lithium and copper from plants like seaweed.
