A cornerstone rule of organic chemistry that has guided students and researchers for a century has just been shown to be ...

Iron in the ground has quietly been doing climate work for centuries, binding carbon in soils so effectively that it can stay ...

When scientists search for extraterrestrial life, they invariably focus on the sixth element on the periodic table: Carbon. "I don't think even most humans have much self-awareness, let alone bacteria ...

N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) polymers, characterized by abundant nitrogen sources, tunable metal centers and excellent chemical stability, serve as ideal precursors for metal-incorporated N-doped ...

Scientists know iron oxide minerals store large amounts of carbon in soils, but lack a detailed, quantitative understanding of the specific chemical mechanisms that allow them to bind such a wide ...

When experimental results don't match scientists' predictions, it's usually assumed that the predictions were wrong. But new ...

Scientists have uncovered new details explaining why iron oxide minerals are such effective long-term carbon traps in soils.

UC Berkeley chemists published a research paper on capturing carbon dioxide from the air using covalent organic frameworks, or COFs, on Wednesday. UC Berkeley’s department of chemistry graduate ...

As the levels of carbon dioxide in the environment rapidly rise and the climate consequences of that rise become increasingly apparent, research and investment into carbon capture strategies have also ...
