While scientists have long known that iron oxide minerals help lock away enormous amounts of carbon—sequestering it from the ...

Soil microbes remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it underground, revealing an overlooked pathway for storage in ...

Scientists reveal how iron-rich soil minerals chemically trap carbon using multiple nanoscale bonding mechanisms.

Carbon, with its myriad compounds, is the backbone of life and the central element of organic chemistry. The number of bonds a carbon atom forms with other elements in a compound determines its ...

Capturing carbon dioxide from industrial plants is an important strategy in the efforts to reduce the impact of global ...

Key points Tenacity has underpinned our research journey to move carbon capture from lab concepts to globally deployable ...

Planar tetracoordinate carbon species subvert the long‐standing paradigm of tetrahedral carbon geometry, demonstrating that a carbon atom can be stabilised in a planar configuration with four ...

Could a frozen traveler from another star system hold secrets about worlds beyond our own? Astronomers think 3I/ATLAS might. This comet, the only third confirmed interstellar object ever detected, ...

Where would carbon-based life be without carbon? There are 118 known chemical elements, but carbon is the fourth most abundant and perhaps the most important to human life. Everywhere you look, ...

Truncated icosahedron: technical term for a soccer ball in the United States, a football everywhere else. The scientists who vaporized the graphite to produce C 60 named the new carbon allotrope ...
