CO2 is used in greenhouses to boost plant growth. CO2 is also causing modern global warming by slowing the escape of heat ...

Using a computer model that reveals how plants grow thicker over time, biologists have uncovered how cells are activated to produce wood tissue. Understanding the genetic and molecular signals behind ...

Insulation provided by carbon dioxide ice above the martian polar caps could explain many of the Red Planet’s ancient river features.

New research suggests that about 3.6 billion years ago, Mars featured vast water flows and a lake rivaling the size of the ...

By 3.6 billion years ago, Mars should have become too cold for liquid water, but something kept the rivers flowing.

Researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) propose using thermoelectric generators to harness energy from ...

A study in Nature finds plants have been absorbing 31 percent more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than previously assumed ...

A thin layer at the ocean surface called the “ocean skin” increases CO₂ uptake by about 7%. That’s equivalent to the CO₂ ...

A variety of geoengineering technologies are being closely studied to rapidly remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. But ...

Sparkling water has a slightly acidic pH. Over time, drinking a lot of it may contribute to the erosion of tooth enamel, says ...

Methane emissions spiked starting in 2020. Scientists say they have found the culprit. Almost two decades ago, the atmosphere’s levels of methane — a dangerous greenhouse gas that is over 80 times as ...

The continuing release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is a major driver of global warming and climate change with increased extreme weather events. Researchers have now presented a method for ...
