Researchers have demonstrated that by using argon plasma, metal atoms can be dispersed and guided to desired positions. This ...

Ancient limestones reveal how volcanic carbon once suffocated the oceans - offering a stark warning as modern oxygen levels ...

Scientists are designing a new living material that captures carbon dioxide directly from the air. It uses photosynthetic ...

Of course, on Earth there are lots of atoms besides these that are just as common, such as carbon and oxygen, but I’ll talk about those soon. An element is what scientists call a group of atoms that ...

A small but mighty microbe that can safely extract the rare earth and other critical elements for building everything from satellites to solar panels has another superpower: capturing carbon dioxide.

‘The human element will not be eliminated anytime soon’ - one of cycling's most legendary bike engineers talks 3D printing, AI, and the future of carbon ...

Boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen: these four elements can form chemical triple bonds with each other due to their similar electronic properties. Examples of this are the gas carbon monoxide, which ...

All about carbon: the fourth most abundant element, and the most important to life as we know it.

Star-forming galaxies, including ours, are rich in elements — and secrets. Stars come to life fastest in the early histories of such galaxies, but this process doesn’t last at such a high rate ...

Led by interns from multiple DOE programs, a newly expanded dataset allows researchers to use easy-to-obtain measurements to determine the elemental composition of a promising carbon storage mineral.

Carbon, the building block of life on Earth, owes its existence to the fiery crucibles of stars. Alongside elements like oxygen and iron, carbon is forged in the intense nuclear reactions of stars and ...
