415.26 parts per million: CO2 levels hit historic high
May 14, 2019 (AFP)
The Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, which has tracked atmospheric CO2 levels since the late 1950s, on Saturday morning detected 415.26 parts per million (ppm)....
Deep sea carbon reservoirs once superheated the Earth and could it happen again
May 10, 2019 (SPX)
It is now clear from these studies that abrupt warming events are built into Earth's climate system. They have occurred when disturbances in carbon storage at E...
Germany's Bosch aims to go carbon-neutral from 2020
May 09, 2019 (AFP)
"Our calculations show that it's possible, so we're doing it," Bosch chief executive Volkmar Denner said during the German group's annual press conference. "Fro...
Iceland turns carbon dioxide to rock for cleaner air
May 08, 2019 (AFP)
The technology mimics, in accelerated format, a natural process that can take thousands of years, injecting CO2 into porous basalt rock where it mineralises, ca...
New Zealand unveils plan to go carbon neutral by 2050
May 08, 2019 (AFP)
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the bill would help New Zealand contribute to a goal of limiting average global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees F...
Quantum computing with graphene plasmons
May 08, 2019 (SPX)
Photons barely interact with the environment, making them a leading candidate for storing and transmitting quantum information. This same feature makes it espec...
Bottom-up approach can synthesize microscopic diamonds for bioimaging, quantum computing
May 07, 2019 (SPX)
In a paper published May 3 in Science Advances, researchers at the University of Washington, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and the Pacific Northwest Nation...
Nanoscale thermometers from diamond sparkles
May 06, 2019 (SPX)
A collaborative team, led by scientists from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), developed a highly-sensitive nano-thermometer that uses atom-like inclus...
Stickier than expected: Hydrogen binds to graphene in 10 femtoseconds
May 06, 2019 (SPX)
By sticking hydrogen atoms to graphene such a bandgap can be formed. Now researchers from Gottingen and Pasadena (USA) have produced an "atomic scale movie" sho...
Researchers design a strategy to make graphene luminescent
May 01, 2019 (SPX)
The FQM-346 Organic Chemistry research group at the University of Cordoba came up with the way this material acts in a luminescent way, a new feature it did not...
As oceans warm, microbes could pump more CO2 back into air
Apr 30, 2019 (SPX)
A new study suggests that CO2 regeneration may become faster in many regions of the world as the oceans warm with changing climate. This, in turn, may reduce th...
UK advisers set to recommend 2050 carbon neutral deadline
Apr 30, 2019 (AFP)
According to an informed source, the independent Committee on Climate Change (CCC) is expected to conclude in a new report released later this week that the 30-...
New research offers solution to riddle of ocean carbon storage
Apr 23, 2019 (SPX)
Led by IMAS Professor Philip Boyd and including scientists from France and the US, the Review article in the journal Nature proposes that the additional pathway...
How inland waters 'breathe' carbon and impact global systems
Apr 17, 2019 (SPX)
In fact, the critical role of this greenhouse gas "evasion" from rivers and streams was, for the first time, incorporated into the Fifth Assessment Report of th...
Oregon scientists drill into white graphene to create artificial atoms
Apr 15, 2019 (SPX)
The artificial atoms - which work in air and at room temperature - may be a big step in efforts to develop all-optical quantum computing, said UO physicist Benj...
Squeezed nanocrystal model predicts their shape when blanketed under graphene
Apr 09, 2019 (SPX)
Ames Laboratory scientist are experts in 2D materials, and recently discovered a first-of-its-kind copper and graphite combination, produced by depositing coppe...
Climate change impacts peatland CO2 gas exchange primarily via moisture conditions
Apr 09, 2019 (SPX)
Understanding the interactions between warming and soil moisture is particularly important in peatland types found in boreal and arctic areas expected to experi...
More CO2 than ever before in 3 million years, shows unprecedented computer simulation
Apr 08, 2019 (SPX)
Ice age onset, hence the start of the glacial cycles from cold to warm and back, the study reveals, was mainly triggered by a decrease of CO2-levels. Yet today,...
More Than a Carbon Copy: OCO-3 on the Space Station
Apr 08, 2019 (JPL)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) naturally cycles into and out of the air from plants and animals, the ocean, and land, with the cycle staying in balance over the long term...
Cool Earth theory sheds more light on diamonds
Apr 08, 2019 (SPX)
In the study, published in the journal Chemical Geology, the researchers looked at the magnesium oxide levels in thousands of volcanic rocks, dating at least 2....
