New polymer membrane tech improves efficiency of CO2 capture
Apr 04, 2022 (SPX)
"To demonstrate the capability of our new membranes, we looked at mixtures of CO2 and nitrogen, because CO2/nitrogen dioxide mixtures are particularly relevant ...
Predicting carbon transfer in the ocean based on deep-diving tiny organisms
Apr 01, 2022 (SPX)
A USC-led team of international scientists has found that the speed of this carbon transfer is influenced by the size and type of bacteria that latch onto the p...
First-of-its-kind detection of reduced human CO2 emissions
Apr 01, 2022 (SPX)
Using a combination of NASA satellites and atmospheric modeling, the scientists performed a first-of-its-kind detection of human CO2 emissions changes. The new ...
Graphene crystals grow better under copper cover
Apr 01, 2022 (SPX)
Most graphene-based electronic devices require insulating supports. Yet, high-quality graphene films destined for industrial use typically are grown on a metal ...
No longer a last resort: Pulling CO2 from the air
Apr 01, 2022 (AFP)
If humanity had started to curb greenhouse gas emissions 20 years ago, an annual decrease of two percent out to 2030 would have put us on the right path. Challe...
A strange monopole observed in diamond
Mar 29, 2022 (SPX)
In 2018, Giandomenico Palumbo and Nathan Goldman (Science Faculty, ULB) proposed an experimental scheme by which exotic "tensor" monopoles, initially introduced...
Setting carbon management in stone
Mar 18, 2022 (SPX)
"If we want to be anywhere near those limits [of 1.5 or 2 C], then we have to be carbon neutral by 2050, and then carbon negative after that," says Matej Pec, a...
New method could lead to cheaper, more efficient ways to capture carbon
Mar 17, 2022 (SPX)
The scientists describe their technique in a paper published this month in the journal iSCIENCE. The method predicts how strong the bond will be between carbon ...
The new sustainable, CO2-capturing concrete containing carbonated water
Mar 17, 2022 (SPX)
A research project at the University of Cordoba has managed to dose concrete through a new procedure that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and thatco...
Huge forest fires don't cause living trees to release much carbon, OSU research shows
Mar 15, 2022 (SPX)
Published in the journal Forests, the findings are an important step toward understanding the connection between wildfires and climate-change-inducing carbon em...
Converting plastic waste into porous carbon for capturing carbon dioxide
Mar 11, 2022 (SPX)
In the rapidly developing field of carbon capture technologies, plastic waste-derived porous materials that can adsorb CO2 from flue gas are considered an attra...
NUS research shows CO2 could be stored below ocean floor
Mar 08, 2022 (SPX)
One potential solution that is drawing growing attention is to capture and store carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the form of hydrates under ocean floor sedime...
An easier way to create flexible diamonds
Mar 04, 2022 (SPX)
Recently, a team of scientists led by Carnegie's Samuel Dunning and Timothy Strobel developed an original technique that predicts and guides the ordered creatio...
Sotheby's tips largest blue diamond at auction to fetch $48 mn
Feb 16, 2022 (AFP)
The auction house said it expected the 15.10-carat De Beers Cullinan Blue diamond to sell for more than $48 million. The diamond is the "largest internally flaw...
Computing carbon storage
Feb 11, 2022 (SPX)
One of the removal methods scientists are exploring is known as carbon capture and storage (CCS). In carbon capture and storage, CO2 is captured from industrial...
Game-changing technology to remove 99 percent of carbon dioxide from air
Feb 04, 2022 (SPX)
It is a significant advance for carbon dioxide capture and could bring more environmentally friendly fuel cells closer to market. The research team, led by UD P...
Machine learning fine-tunes flash graphene
Feb 02, 2022 (SPX)
The process discovered two years ago by the Rice lab of chemist James Tour has expanded beyond making graphene from various carbon sources to extracting other m...
Cosmic physics mimicked on table-top as graphene enables Schwinger effect
Jan 28, 2022 (SPX)
A vacuum is assumed to be completely empty space, without any matter or elementary particles. However, it was predicted by Nobel laureate Julian Schwinger 70 ye...
Stackable artificial leaf captures 100 times more carbon than other systems
Jan 28, 2022 (SPX)
"Our artificial leaf system can be deployed outside the lab, where it has the potential to play a significant role in reducing greenhouse gases in the atmospher...
Southern Ocean storms cause outgassing of carbon dioxide
Jan 26, 2022 (SPX)
The world's southernmost ocean, the Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica, plays an important role in the global climate because its waters contain large amo...
