A new study models the composition of Martian rock to figure out how they may have interacted with water, absorbing it and leaving Mars' surface barren.

Spreading crushed rocks on fields can absorb CO2 from the air – now chemists have devised a way to turbocharge this process ...

Featherlight nanomaterial built from graphene and calcium pulls clean water from the air with unmatched efficiency.

The weight of hundreds of kilometers of rock and very high temperatures above 1,000 degrees Celsius (1,832 Fahrenheit) break down water into its components. And it's not accessible. It's not a ...

The rock samples were collected from Mars' Jezero Crater in 2022, specifically in a "fan-like region" filled with sedimentary rocks on its western slope. This region appears to have once been the ...

Water-absorbing material inspired by plant ... but they can grow upwards against the strain of gravity and their roots can even shift soil and rocks – because their cells can absorb water to ...

Could crushed rocks absorb enough carbon to curb global warming? A little-examined form of geoengineering takes what rocks normally do—lock up carbon—and spreads it through the oceans.

A sea's worth of water became locked inside volcanic rocks that formed 120 million to 125 million years ago during the early Cretaceous, when a lava plume the size of the U.S. burst through Earth ...

Spreading crushed rocks on fields can absorb CO2 from the air ... Natural silicate minerals such as basalt react with water and CO2 to form solid carbonate materials, ...
