A new method to capture carbon dioxide from the air has been developed at the University of Helsinki's chemistry department. The CO 2 captured by the compound can be released by heating the compound ...

For decades, the basics of plant growth have been taught in grade school: Plants make their food out of water from the soil, light from the sun and carbon dioxide from the air in a process called ...

Some of the thinnest materials known to humankind -- MXene and MBene compounds -- may provide solutions to scientists in their quest to curb the effects of global warming. These substances are only a ...

Traditional catalysts in the RWGS reaction are made from precious metals, including platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd) and gold (Au), limiting the cost efficiency of the reaction. Because of this, new ...

A new study suggests rising carbon-dioxide levels may be slowly changing human blood chemistry and could impact long term ...

Researchers in Japan have found an energy-efficient way to convert the chief greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO 2) into useful chemicals. Using the method, CO 2 is transformed into structures called ...

A 3-month study conducted in the intensive care unit (ICU) in Japan, revealed that health care workers experience reduced environmental satisfaction and concentration due to lack of natural light and ...
