Gas phase studies of carbon dioxide activation have emerged as a pivotal area of research, offering profound mechanistic insights into the transformation of this ubiquitous molecule. Researchers ...

A chemistry collaboration led to a creative way to put carbon dioxide to good -- and even healthy -- use: by incorporating it, via electrosynthesis, into a series of organic molecules that are vital ...

We all know about the greenhouse effect, but how many of us actually understand it? Turns out, CO2 is not a “blanket,” and saying it “absorbs” heat is barely half the story. In today’s episode we ...

Light-sensitive molecules called photoacids could make the process of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere more energy efficient. Researchers are now devising ways to make photoacids more ...

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 ...

Capturing and storing the carbon dioxide humans produce is key to lowering atmospheric greenhouse gases and slowing global warming, but today’s carbon capture technologies work well only for ...
