Research published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society demonstrates a new way to make carbon-based battery ...

When experimental results don't match scientists' predictions, it's usually assumed that the predictions were wrong. But new ...

Proteins, and by extension our bodies, depend on the fact that atoms are arranged, spaced, and linked to each other in specific ways. And thanks to June Sutor, we have a better understanding of how ...

Global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil-fuel use will reach a record high this year despite countries’ pledges to begin lowering their climate pollution. Emissions are projected to hit 38.1 ...

Surging emissions from wildfires may have been behind the increase, which was the largest since modern measurements began more than half a century ago. By Raymond Zhong and Sachi Kitajima Mulkey The ...

Plutonium has captured the attention of scientists since its discovery in the early 1940s. This enigmatic element has an important role to play in emerging energy technologies like nuclear batteries ...

Carbon dioxide consumes our thoughts – and rightly so. Its emission from power plants, car exhausts and the burning of natural habitats is making our world warmer and warmer – a fact seriously ...

Some fig trees can convert surprisingly large amounts of carbon dioxide into stone, ensuring that the carbon remains in the soil long after the tree has died. This means that fig trees planted for ...

For the first time, the seasonal peak of carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere exceeded 430 parts per million (ppm) at NOAA’s Mauna Loa Observatory on Hawaii, scientists from NOAA and ...

CO2 is a natural part of the planet, but too much has tipped the climate scales. Carbon dioxide may be a naturally occurring substance on Earth, but too much of its presence has contributed to global ...

The world’s demand for alternative fuels and sustainable chemical products has prompted many scientists to look in the same direction for answers: converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon monoxide ...
