The research provides insight into the long-term impacts of rising CO₂ and the implications for global food security and nature conservation

Unlike conventional solar cells, which convert sunlight into electricity that must be stored in heavy batteries, the new device essentially does the work of plants, converting atmospheric carbon dioxide into fuel

Jim Evans and collaborators study Utah's Carmel Formation

Technique controls toxicity of ionic liquids, could lower cost by recycling key ingredient

By reconstructing past global warming and the carbon cycle on Earth 56 million years ago, researchers have used computer modeling to estimate the potential perspective for future global warming

Researchers' results show that between 95 and 98 per cent of the injected CO₂ was mineralized over a period of less than two years

In addition to creating some arcane mathematical tools useful for creating climate datasets, the team also found daytime high temperature data is less likely to be contaminated by surface issues

The UK-wide research team developed new records of past CO₂ levels by analysing ancient ocean sediments

The scientists were able to infer past ocean conditions, using foraminifera preserved in sediment cores

Findings suggest humans are releasing carbon about ten times faster than during any event in the past 66 million years
