What if a machine could suck up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, run it through a series of chemical reactions, and essentially spit out industrially useful plastic?
Caltech scientists convert CO2 into tough industrial plastics using a dual-loop system powered by renewable electricity.
They examined how saponite handles carbon dioxide and water vapor competing for space in the clay's tiny internal pores. Unlike past studies that cranked up the heat to make clays absorb carbon ...
The air moving above the forest carries valuable information about how trees absorb carbon, and what may happen in the future ...
Previous studies in carbon sequestration have provided unexpected insights into this theory, too. These are insights that could line up with the theory that liquid carbon dioxide rivers once ...
Huge shells of frozen carbon dioxide at Mars' south polar cap resulted in subsurface meltwater, which fed a huge system of rivers, lakes and even a sea, a new study suggests.
Vehicle owners do have the option of having their tires filled with nitrogen, but does it make that much of a difference?
In a new study, a team of researchers argue that our extensive understanding of water-based systems on Earth, combined with limited knowledge of liquid carbon dioxide systems, may have led us to ...
New research from the University of California, Davis, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Texas A&M University reveals that ...
The researchers used this data to investigate where and how much anthropogenic carbon dioxide is entering coastal waters, which are crucial to the global carbon budget. Newer Water, Higher ...
Peatlands, formed by ancient wetlands, store more carbon than the world's forests. But when they're drained for farming, they vent heat-trapping carbon dioxide into the air.
