Mars has not always been a seemingly lifeless red desert. We have evidence that billions of years ago it had a warm, habitable climate with liquid water in lakes and flowing rivers, which is somewhat ...

Rivers have long played a key role in the planet’s carbon cycle. They move and release gases like carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄), connecting land, air, and ocean systems. Until recently, ...

This image shows a comparison between the synthetic biology–engineered plant (right) and the wild-type plant. Dr. Liao’s team has developed a novel “McG plant” with a mechanism that recycles the ...

In an editorial for the new journal Carbon Research, an international team of scientists led by Professor Fengchang Wu of the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences defines our current era ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A team in Taiwan has engineered a new way for plants to absorb and use carbon dioxide, potentially reshaping the fight against ...

There is growing interest in the scientific community and private sector in biological approaches to marine carbon dioxide removal—strategies designed to enhance the ocean's natural ability to absorb ...

Carbon, as a scientific topic, encompasses the element’s central role in both inorganic and organic systems, including its allotropic forms (e.g., diamond, graphite, graphene, fullerenes) and its ...
