For a broad range of industries, separating gases is an important part of both process and product—from separating nitrogen and oxygen from air for medical purposes to separating carbon dioxide from other gases in the process ...
If you mix fossil fuel with a little oxygen and add a spark, three things are produced: water, climate-warming carbon dioxide, and lots of energy. This fundamental chemical reaction takes place in every combustion engine, ...
To look for atmospheres around planets outside our solar system is to look for extraterrestrial life. Astronomist Sebastian Zieba has used data from the James Webb Space Telescope to study small rocky exoplanets but found ...
By using a carbonated—rather than a still—water-based solution during the concrete manufacturing process, a Northwestern University-led team of engineers has discovered a new way to store carbon dioxide (CO2) in the ubiquitous ...
The severity of climate change means we all need to reduce our carbon footprint to zero as quick as possible, including companies. The voluntary carbon markets were set up to allow companies to buy and sell carbon credits ...
The United States, along with 123 other countries, have pledged to reach "net-zero" carbon emissions by 2050 or 2060. A number of strategies are being deployed to reach this ambitious goal, but the one most pertinent to South ...
Many municipal landfills "burp" gas from decomposing organic matter rather than letting it build up. And burps from buried waste containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) can release these "forever chemicals" ...
When looking at calcite under a microscope, a scientist would immediately recognize the crystalline form of calcium carbonate by its rhombohedral appearance. That is, calcite is shaped like a distorted cube. One of Earth's ...
A study published in Global Ecology and Conservation shows that COVID-19 lockdowns had a positive impact on the quality of species' habitats.
The Amazon rainforest, the world's largest tropical rainforest, plays a crucial role in regulating the global climate. Absorbing about 220 million tons of CO2 annually, it acts as a carbon sink, a natural system that absorbs ...
