The ancient history of Earth has always been hard to read. Most of the planet’s earliest crust has been lost, buried, or ...

Along the eastern shore of Hudson Bay in Canada's northeastern province of Quebec, near the Inuit municipality of Inukjuak, resides a belt of volcanic rock that displays a blend of dark and light ...

During next decade, Suzuki and his team painstakingly studied the rocks and found that in every sample—in many tiny, iron-rich, clay-filled microfractures—there was life.

Stanford researchers have found a way to activate commonly found rocks so they capture CO2 out of the air at room temperature. The team believes it could be relatively inexpensive, and can easily ...

Chemists at Stanford University have developed a low-cost way to remove carbon dioxide (CO 2) from the atmosphere using an unlikely source: rocks. The process involves heating common minerals, so ...

Stanford University chemists have developed a practical, low-cost way to permanently remove atmospheric carbon dioxide, the main driver of global warming and climate change. The new process uses heat ...

Stanford scientists have discovered how to turn common minerals into materials that spontaneously remove and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In the lab, the materials pull CO2 from the ...

The new process uses heat to transform common minerals into materials that spontaneously pull carbon from the atmosphere and permanently sequester it. These reactive materials can be produced in ...

Climate Solutions We may be able to trap climate pollution in ordinary rocks Scientists say they have figured out how to transform rocks into something extraordinary: a high-tech, low-cost ...
