More than half of Earth’s soil carbon lies deeper than scientists usually measure, potentially reshaping climate models.
Removing carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the air, a process called direct air capture (or DAC), is one of several approaches being developed to help reduce the concentration of this greenhouse gas ...
Where would carbon-based life be without carbon? There are 118 known chemical elements, but carbon is the fourth most abundant and perhaps the most important to human life. Everywhere you look, ...
Scientists know iron oxide minerals store large amounts of carbon in soils, but lack a detailed, quantitative understanding of the specific chemical mechanisms that allow them to bind such a wide ...
About 75 years ago, scientists accidentally synthesized a compound called ferrocene in which the iron (Fe) atom is sandwiched between two C5H5 rings—(C5H5)Fe(C5H5). This compound opened up a new era ...
This month we feature chemicals that have important applications in industry and the lab.—Ed. Carbon monoxide (CO) is the simplest carbon oxide, an important industrial and laboratory chemical, and a ...
Click chemistry has built its reputation on reliability – fast, selective reactions that work even in messy biological ...
