Scientists have discovered how to turn common minerals into materials that spontaneously remove and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In the lab, the materials pull CO2 from the air thousands ...

The technique is pretty straightforward and potentially very cheap, but will need to be scaled up significantly to make a difference.

Yale chemist Hailiang Wang and his colleagues report their most recent success in turning industrial emissions of CO2, a major greenhouse gas causing climate change, into methanol, a common liquid ...

Flasks are shipped back to a lab at Scripps Oceanography, where they are attached to analysis equipment and the amount of carbon dioxide in the sample is measured. The carbon dioxide in the samples is ...

I first showed him the carbon foam technical paper below. Date of Issue: July 10, 1978, Report Number: Y/DA-7776 CARBON FOAM PREPARATION AND PROPERTIES ... with the isocyanate and form additional ...

Biomass burial also avoids sending more soot into the air, but without proper site preparation, it could still release methane and carbon dioxide. In most soils, the wood decays as microbes munch ...

Inspired by bird feathers, scientists create a fabric that desalinates seawater using sunlight and electricity, working ...

Biologists have long been curious about just how little light photosynthesis can run on — or how many photons need to arrive, and how quickly, for a cell’s photosynthetic machinery to process carbon ...

The resulting chemical reaction converts toxic urea into harmless nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Without the ... round of funding worth $20 million in preparation for a U.S.-based clinical trial.

Instead of dumping it down the drain, the Seattle researchers ran spent dialysate through a special compartment crammed with titanium dioxide nanowires and LED lights. The resulting chemical reaction ...
