Carbon dioxide (CO₂) pollution drives climate change, warming the planet and threatening human survival. Plants naturally turn CO₂ into oxygen (O₂) during photosynthesis, but their ...

To mitigate global climate change, emissions of the primary culprit, carbon dioxide, must be drastically reduced. A newly developed process helps solve this problem: CO2 is directly split ...

The team used semiconductor catalysts to turn carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and ethylene, a hydrocarbon commonly used to produce spacecraft propellants, according to the SCMP.

A research team created a plant-inspired molecule that can store four charges using sunlight, a key step toward artificial ...

An EU-funded project is helping accelerate the adoption of carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) technologies that transform ...

Carbon dioxide is leaking from industrial operations into the atmosphere, causing a cascade of dangerous changes to Earth’s climate. But some scientists wondered if instead it could instead be ...

Plants use the energy of sunlight to convert CO2 into energy-rich sugar molecules. This process is called photosynthesis and is the foundation of virtually all life: animals and humans can "burn" the ...
