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 ...

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

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 ...

A new process could enable crushed rocks to capture carbon dioxide from the air much more quickly, turbocharging a carbon removal technique that is already being widely adopted. Natural silicate ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
