Scientists have created a device that captures carbon dioxide and transforms it into a useful chemical in a single step. The new electrode works with realistic exhaust gases rather than requiring ...

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 ...

The award-winning science writer Peter Brannen makes the case for an often vilified compound in “The Story of CO2 Is the Story of Everything.” By Jaime Green Jaime Green is the author of “The ...

Atmospheric CO 2 levels have increased as a result of anthropogenic activities. This rise has contributed to global warming, ocean acidification, and the degradation of ecosystems. Addressing this ...

The Nature Index 2026 Research Leaders reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural sciences, health sciences, applied sciences and social sciences, according to their ...

Scientists in the Liquid Sunlight Alliance (LiSA) DOE Energy Innovation Hub have gained new insight into electrochemical CO 2 reduction, a process by which energy from the sun can be used to convert ...

The latest anomaly in the climate system that can’t be fully explained by researchers is a record annual jump in the global mean concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere measured in 2024. The ...

Aviation is a significant contributor to air pollution, with close to 2.5% of all carbon dioxide emissions resulting from aircraft. While historically there was little you could do about aviation-led ...

Industrial plants, such as those that make cement or steel, emit copious amounts of carbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas, but the exhaust is too hot for state-of-the-art carbon removal technology.

In February 2020, residents of a small town in Mississippi began experiencing unexplained sickness. Dozens of people were rushed to the local hospital, some of whom had passed out while driving their ...

Dairy is one of life’s great pleasures–science even says so. But the cows that make butter also produce a tremendous amount of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Now, a Bill Gates-backed startup is ...
