Plants do not rely only on their leaves to feed on carbon dioxide. A new study in Carbon Research reveals that maize roots ...

The interplay of water transport and related structural changes in cement-based materials help absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide in the form of CO 3 2-. Carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions are currently ...

Membrane contactors have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional carbon capture systems by marrying the high selectivity of liquid absorption with the compact modularity of membrane ...

Scientists at Oregon State University have discovered a method to significantly enhance the carbon dioxide absorption capacity of a chemical structure, more than doubling its effectiveness for ...

Global warming drying the air may have slowed a rising rate of photosynthesis around the world. With this plant process involving the uptake of carbon dioxide, some researchers hoped that a boost to ...

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A Taiwanese research team has developed a new material that uses sunlight to transform carbon dioxide ...

Stripping seawater of carbon dioxide via electrochemical processes — thereby prompting oceans to draw down more greenhouse gas from the atmosphere — is a geoengineering approach under consideration ...

The ocean may have absorbed up to 15% more CO2 than previously thought thanks to the effect of air bubbles under waves that enable better gas absorption by seawater, a new scientific study has found.

Staving off the worst impacts of climate change means preventing global temperatures from rising more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels. But CO2 emissions are so high that we are ...

In 1896, the Swedish physicist Svante Arrhenius realized that carbon dioxide (CO 2) traps heat in Earth’s atmosphere — the phenomenon now called the greenhouse effect. Since then, increasingly ...
