Scientists know iron oxide minerals store large amounts of carbon in soils, but lack a detailed, quantitative understanding of the specific chemical mechanisms that allow them to bind such a wide ...

Rivers deliver freshwater, nutrients, and carbon to Earth's oceans, influencing the chemistry of coastal seawater worldwide.

When scientists search for extraterrestrial life, they invariably focus on the sixth element on the periodic table: Carbon. "I don't think even most humans have much self-awareness, let alone bacteria ...

A mystery that has puzzled the scientific community for over 50 years has finally been solved. A team from Linköping University, Sweden, and Helmholtz Munich have discovered that a certain type of ...

This new technology turns everyday carbon emissions into a useful chemical—right at the source, even from thin air.

Carbon capture technology involves capturing CO₂ directly from industrial and energy sources before it enters the atmosphere, then transporting and storing or repurposing it to avoid climate impact.

This month we feature chemicals that have important applications in industry and the lab.—Ed. Carbon monoxide (CO) is the simplest carbon oxide, an important industrial and laboratory chemical, and a ...

Scientists trace Earth’s long cooling to falling ocean calcium, pulling CO₂ from the air and offering new insight into a greenhouse mystery.
