    A vending machine that absorbs harmful CO2 and recycles it into fertiliser and concrete has been unveiled.

    A special material absorbs the CO2 and uses it to cool or warm the products as well as collecting it for recycling.

    The annual CO2 absorption per unit is expected to be the equivalent to the annual absorption of about 20 mature cedar trees

    It has been developed by Tokyo-based Japanese soft drinks company Asahi..

    From June about 30 units will be installed in various places both indoors where CO2 concentration is high, as well as outdoors.

    These will be used initially by the company to compare and verify the amount of CO2 absorption and absorption speed.

    Full-scale deployment is scheduled from 2024.
    OPS: The CO2 absorbing vending machine. Around 30 are being installed at various locations in Japan from June.

    An architecture competition that hopes to build lives for humans in space and in the sea has been launched.

    The International Future Architecture competition asks entrants to imagine a life where water and space would be populated.

    Organisers The Jacques Rougerie Foundation say that the Earth's growing population and a potential sea level rise creates the need for new ideas about where humans can live.

    Highlights of previous entries include Neck of the Moon, by El Hadi Jazairy, which sees space debris in the orbital environment compacting into a new 'second moon' called Laika.

    Another lunar idea was Moon Origin Point by Miloje Krunic; an autonomous habitat for up to 20 million people designed to utilse the Moon's "abundant mineral resources".

    Impressive Shots: Alan Sailer's High Speed Photography
    What an impressive shot!

    Alan Sailer creates amazing images of everyday items being hit by projectiles.

    Using high-speed photography, he can capture in stunning detail the moment items such as marbles and pellets pass through objects.

    The jaw-dropping results include a pellet shredding three cigarettes, a marble destroying an ice cream cone and the shooting of stacks of staples.

    Other targeted highlights include cans of drink, ice lollies, a cherry pie and a tub of cream cheese.

    Based in Camarillo, California, the 56-year-old is a microwave engineer by day, but pursues his hobby in his garage in the evening.

    Getting the shots is all in the timing. Alan opens the shutter on his camera on a one second exposure with one hand, while firing the rifle or air cannon with the other. A powerful flash is triggered when the projectile passes through a laser beam.

    His set-up allows him the option to not only fire pellets and marbles at 500ft per second, but items such as Christmas ornaments filled with coloured gelatine.

    Alan began his hobby after building his own 20,000 volt microsecond flash in 2008. He was encouraged when an image he took of a pellet being split by a razor blade caused a stir online.

    "I was very surprised at the reaction to the razor blade splitting the pellet shot. It has had over 270,000 views and made me a little famous. The shot scared me, I didn't know if pieces of razor blade would come flying out."

    Contrary to the destructive nature of his work, Alan isn't a fan of firearms.

    He explains: "Bye the...
