Credit: University of Texas at Austin Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a new way to capture carbon from the atmosphere that works much faster than current methods and doesn’t require the harmful chemical accelerators. In new research published in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineeringthe team developed a technique for ultra-fast … Read more
Researchers at the University of Toronto Engineering have developed a new catalyst that efficiently converts captured carbon into valuable products such as ethylene and ethanol, even in the presence of sulfur oxide impurities. This breakthrough offers a more economically viable method for carbon capture and upgrading, potentially revolutionizing industries such as steel and cement production … Read more

The 2024 edition of the Bespoked Handmade Bike Show returned to the UK this year after taking a holiday in Dresden in 2023, popping up at Manchester’s iconic Victoria Baths. Thankfully the baths weren’t filled (believe it or not, it’s happened a few times over the past 20 years for very special events), as many … Read more
To understand the origins of this carbon, the Chinese research team said a study of young lunar samples – just 2 billion years old – could help them unravel “the crystalline structure of the native carbon” present on the moon. After analyzing the graphene found in the sample, the researchers concluded that the moon may … Read more
A new study reveals that the carbon stored by plants worldwide is more volatile and vulnerable to the effects of climate change than previously thought. The research, led by Dr. Heather Graven, from Imperial College London, shows that current climate models significantly underestimate how much CO2 is absorbed by vegetation each year and overestimate its … Read more
