If we're going to curb the worst case scenario of climate change, it's not enough to just cut back on future carbon dioxide emissions – we need to remove some of what's already in the air. Capturing ...

Researchers have designed a porous liquid to capture and store carbon dioxide emissions from human and industrial activities, and then convert it into calcium carbonate – an industrially valuable ...

Chemists report a new electrocatalyst that converts carbon dioxide and water into ethanol with very high energy efficiency, high selectivity for the desired final product and low cost. Catalysts speed ...

The wonder-material graphene may have a new trick to add to its resume: converting carbon dioxide into liquid fuels. A team at Rice University has used nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (NGQDs) as ...

If humans are going to successfully make longer-distance space trips, it will depend on discovering and engineering new materials for continuous fresh air supply—and doing it in microgravity, without ...

Scientists detect small pockets of carbon dioxide-rich liquid water in a meteorite dating from the early solar system. By studying ancient meteorite fragments, scientists can gain important insights ...

Fuel cells that react liquid sodium metal with air could be the power source required to give electric airplanes much longer ranges, a new paper has proposed. The idea has yet to leave the laboratory ...

A team of scientists at Harvard University says it has come up with a bionic leaf — a system that could use solar power and hydrogen-eating bacteria to generate liquid fuel. The findings, described in ...

Carbonated drinks lose their fizz as dissolved carbon dioxide escapes after opening, a process governed by pressure and ...
