Oct 02, 2020 (UPI)
The circuit's ability confirms the theory -- developed by the study's authors, a group of physicists at the University of Arkansas -- that micron-sized sheets o...
New Insights into the Origin of Diamonds in Meteorites
Sep 29, 2020 (SPX)
Previously, researchers have proposed that diamonds in ureilites formed like those on Earth - deep in the mantle of the planet, where the high pressures needed ...
Study: World must adopt CO2-catching science to meet climate goals
Sep 24, 2020 (UPI)
The International Energy Agency said carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology must have a key role in trapping global-warming emissions. "Carbo...
China eyes climate leadership with 2060 carbon neutral goal
Sep 23, 2020 (AFP)
The goals, which included a pledge to reach peak emissions in 2030, are the most concrete yet announced by China, which accounts for one quarter of the planet's...
Our seas are capturing more carbon than expected
Sep 23, 2020 (ESA)
Much of the carbon dioxide emitted by human activity does not stay in the atmosphere but is taken up by oceans and land vegetation - so-called 'carbon sinks'. T...
How to get a handle on carbon dioxide uptake by plants
Sep 23, 2020 (SPX)
"We need to understand how the Earth is breathing now to know how resilient it will be to future change," according to a paper in the journal Bulletin of the Am...
Study highlights carbon sequestration services provided by U.S. forests
Sep 21, 2020 (UPI)
What's more, forests and harvested wood products uptake approximately 14 percent of economy-wide CO2 emissions in the United States annually. Despite declining ...
Norway wants to invest $1.8bn for CO2 capture
Sep 21, 2020 (AFP)
The government unveiled the proposed investment in technology considered promising but extremely expensive the same day as climate activists protested in the ca...
Ancient volcanoes once boosted ocean carbon, but humans are now far outpacing them
