Largest mapping of breathing ocean floor key to understanding global carbon cycle
Oct 30, 2019 (SPX)
Their findings are published in Nature Scientific Data on 29 October 2019. 98% of the CO2 dissolved in sea water The oceans play an important role in the global...
MIT engineers develop a new way to remove carbon dioxide from air
Oct 28, 2019 (SPX)
Most methods of removing carbon dioxide from a stream of gas require higher concentrations, such as those found in the flue emissions from fossil fuel-based pow...
Stanford study casts doubt on carbon capture
Oct 28, 2019 (SPX)
"All sorts of scenarios have been developed under the assumption that carbon capture actually reduces substantial amounts of carbon. However, this research find...
Imperfect diamonds paved road to historic Deep Earth discoveries
Oct 25, 2019 (SPX)
Unsightly black, red, green, and brown specks of minerals, and microscopic pockets of fluid and gas encapsulated by diamonds as they form in Deep Earth, record ...
CO2 monitors new weapon in Paris climate fight
Oct 22, 2019 (AFP)
But until now efforts to make some of the largest urban areas on the planet compliant with the Paris climate goals have been hampered by an inability to measure...
How and when was carbon distributed in the Earth?
Oct 14, 2019 (SPX)
Such a chemically differentiated magma ocean formed the present-day Earth's mantle. Previous studies have experimentally investigated carbon partitioning betwee...
Humanity's emissions '100-times greater' than volcanoes
Oct 01, 2019 (AFP)
The Deep Carbon Observatory (DCO), a 500-strong international team of scientists, released a series of papers outlining how carbon is stored, emitted and reabso...
Graphene is 3D as well as 2D
Sep 24, 2019 (SPX)
Realising that it is a 3D material is important for understanding its mechanical properties and for developing novel graphene-based devices. Often hailed as a '...
Scientists predict new forms of superhard carbon
Sep 12, 2019 (SPX)
Now, science is opening the door to the development of new materials with these seductive qualities. Researchers have used computational techniques to identify ...
Carbon taxes alone won't be enough to meet Paris Agreement targets
Sep 04, 2019 (UPI)
If the Paris Agreement target is to be met, researchers claim global carbon emissions must hit zero by 2070 and become negative afterwards, via carbon-capture t...
Monitoring CO2 leakage sites on the ocean floor
Aug 23, 2019 (SPX)
Now, researchers reporting in ACS' journal Environmental Science and Technology have studied natural sources of CO2 release off the coast of Italy, using what t...
New study reveals carbon nanotubes measurement possible for the first time
Aug 23, 2019 (SPX)
The new research is published in the American Chemical Society journal Nano Letters. The paper details how the Swansea University research team, based at the En...
Plants could remove six years of carbon dioxide emissions
Aug 23, 2019 (SPX)
The results show trees and plants could remove six years of current emissions by 2100, but only if no further deforestation occurs. The study, led by Stanford U...
Superdeep diamonds confirm ancient reservoir deep under Earth's surface
Aug 17, 2019 (SPX)
Scientists have long suspected that an area of the Earth's mantle, somewhere between the crust and the core, contains a vast reservoir of rock, comparatively un...
How do atoms vibrate in graphene nanostructures?
Aug 13, 2019 (SPX)
Researchers from the University of Vienna, the Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in Japan, the company JEOL and La Sapienza University in Rome have d...
CO2 direct air capture plant will help extract oil in Texas
Aug 05, 2019 (SPX)
On its face, boosting oil production seems counterproductive: To limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees C (2.7 degrees F) and prevent the worst climate im...
Graphene discovery could make room-temperature superconductors possible
Aug 01, 2019 (UPI)
The breakthrough -- detailed this week in the journal Nature -- occurred when scientists formed moiré patterns with graphene sheets. Graphene is a strong, dura...
Stanford physicists discover new quantum trick for graphene: magnetism
Jul 31, 2019 (SPX)
The authors suggest the magnetism, called orbital ferromagnetism, could prove useful for certain applications, such as quantum computing. The group describes th...
Next-gen membranes for carbon capture
Jul 31, 2019 (SPX)
The captured CO2 can then be either recycled or stored away in in gas or liquid form, a process known as sequestration. Carbon capture can be done using so-call...
A graphene superconductor that plays more than one tune
Jul 22, 2019 (SPX)
"Usually, when someone wants to study how electrons interact with each other in a superconducting quantum phase versus an insulating phase, they would need to l...
