What we breathe out becomes fuel for forests. But inside our own bodies, CO₂ has a secret life. It sparks chemical reactions, shapes metabolism, and may even act as a signaling molecule—and a new tool ...

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is a long-known and thoroughly studied molecule. It has its upsides, such as its uses in carbonated beverages and urea manufacture, and its downsides, especially its dominant ...

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 ...

CARBON dioxide is the fourth most common gas present in the earth's atmosphere, with an average ambient concentration (in fresh air) of about 350 ppm. Carbon dioxide is one of the most common ...

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 ...

Researchers have now developed an electrically driven system for carbon capture using covalent organic frameworks (COFs) ( Chem 2026, DOI: 10.1016/j.chempr.2025.102910). Using simple open-air ...

The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has climbed 33 percent since the late 1950s, an unprecedented spike in all of human history. Analyzing air bubbles trapped in ancient Antarctic ...

New carbon capture technology can generate a continuous, high-purity carbon dioxide stream from diluted, or low-concentration, gas streams using only electricity and a water-and-oxygen-based reaction.
