Researchers from Oregon State University have created novel compounds that can rapidly absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This is a crucial strategy for reducing the ...

Scientists have discovered a potentially greener way to produce a crucial industrial chemical used to make many everyday ...

Chemical engineers have discovered that adding nickel atoms to silver catalysts could revolutionize the production of ethylene oxide by eliminating the need for toxic chlorine while maintaining ...

Carbon dioxide is made up of one carbon atom covalently bonded to two oxygen atoms. Although electrons are shared, they are not shared equally between the carbon and the oxygen atoms. The oxygen atom ...

The process of separating useful molecules from mixtures of other substances accounts for 15% of the nation's energy, emits 100 million tons of carbon dioxide and costs $4 billion annually. In a new ...

The review collates a growing body of evidence that the carbon dioxide-triggered increase in photosynthesis, known as the carbon fertilization effect, presents a mixed bag for plant health, and pieces ...

In the reaction, the bonds in the methane and oxygen molecule come apart, the atoms rearrange and then re-bond to form water and carbon dioxide. The little number written at the lower right after an ...
