The movement of carbon between the atmosphere, oceans and continents -- or carbon cycle -- regulates Earth's climate, with the ocean playing a major role in carbon sequestration. A new study finds ...

The hidden geometry of carbon capture While DE optimized the material itself, geometry played an equally transformative role. Akbarzadeh and his team turned to triply periodic minimal surfaces ...

Chemically, carbon dioxide is incredibly simple – it is just one carbon atom linked with two oxygen atoms. Together they create a colorless gas that makes up just a tiny fraction of the Earth's ...

Where would carbon-based life be without carbon? There are 118 known chemical elements, but carbon is the fourth most abundant and perhaps the most important to human life. Everywhere you look, ...

Multiscale CEO Jesse Silverberg (right) and Chief Technology Officer Art Evans study one of the company's composites. PHOTO COURTESY OF MULTISCALE SYSTEMS At just five years old, Multiscale Systems ...

But by rethinking the shape of carbon at the microscopic level, the team found a workaround. The cone and disc structures offer curvature and spacing that welcome sodium and potassium ions without the ...

From the mud, straw, and gypsum mixtures of ancient Egypt’s monumental pyramids to the sophisticated underwater material employed by Roman engineers in iconic structures like the Pantheon, concrete ...
