A joint research team from Nitto Boseki Co., Ltd. (Nittobo) and Tohoku University has revealed that Poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs ...

Cement-based materials provide a potential solution for mitigating climate change by trapping and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide as minerals, via a process known as carbonation. Despite extensive ...

Dumping alkaline green sand into shallow seas could increase ocean absorption of carbon dioxide by 8 per cent this century, according to a modelling study. Trending New Scientist articles ...

Polymerized ionic liquids (PILs) are known for their strong ability to absorb carbon dioxide, as well as their stability as ...

Excess carbon dioxide emitted by human activities—such as fossil fuel burning, land-use changes, and deforestation—is known as anthropogenic carbon dioxide. Approximately thirty percent of this ...

As Earth warms, the Arctic Ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is waning due to melting permafrost and worsening coastal erosion, according to new research. A study published ...

Scientists have made a significant stride toward understanding a viable process for direct air capture, or DAC, of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This DAC process is in early development with the ...

Scientists at Oregon State University have discovered a method to significantly enhance the carbon dioxide absorption capacity of a chemical structure, more than doubling its effectiveness for ...

However, the carbon dioxide absorption capacity of forests, also known as carbon sinks, is becoming increasingly weaker. This is shown by calculations of multi-year carbon budgets by an international ...

In the past, these tiny single-celled organisms slowed down the increase of CO₂ in the atmosphere – at a time when greenhouse gas levels were rising sharply Some Fourteen thousand years ago, algal ...

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions are currently one of the leading causes of global warming. Cement-based materials have shown promising applications in capturing and solidifying CO 2 as minerals ...
