The weathering of the Earth’s surface serves as a geological thermostat and new research says that the breakdown of rocks at volcanic sites could help consume some of the world’s atmospheric carbon.
Results for "carbon"
Carbon dioxide locked in stone
Mineralization of carbon dioxide has some serious advantages over physical traps, giving rise to potential carbon-negative industries.
What do carbon capture and beer bubbles have in common?
Understanding how bubbles form is vital to both producers and consumers of the world’s most popular alcoholic beverage.
Measuring computers’ carbon footprint with “Green Algorithms”
A new, open-source platform allows scientists to easily measure the carbon footprint of their computations.
A natural way of turning off the carbon dioxide tap, California style
A new report outlines in quantitative detail the range of options, trade-offs, and costs to guide future policies in achieving carbon neutrality by 2045.
Sheets of carbon nanotubes come in a rainbow of colors
A new model helped researchers create a “nanotube color atlas”, which they use to predict the specific colors of 466 different single‐wall carbon nanotubes, revealing a broad spectrum of potentially achievable colors.
Could a human settlement on Mars be sustained with carbon dioxide?
The chemistry of carbon dioxide may not save the human race on Earth, but could enable a new beginning for life on the red planet.
Carbon-carbon bonds are more flexible than thought
Researchers at Hokkaido University call into question the strong and stable image of the carbon-carbon single bond.
Imagining how “synthetic topology” could reform carbon dioxide catalysis
Solid-state physicists and materials chemists are now in excellent “shape” to expand and accelerate their explorations of the science of topological materials for a wide range of possible applications.
What is the carbon footprint of carbon capture and utilization?
The amount of carbon dioxide produced by industrial point sources is far larger than the current demand for carbon capture and utilization.
