In conversation with Mále Uribe, we set out to learn about the processes and ideas that work at the intersection of art, ...

Industrial waste can turn into rock in as little as 35 years, new research reveals, instead of the thousands or millions of years previously assumed. The finding challenges what scientists know about ...

An analysis of Hawaii’s volcanic rocks revealed Earth’s core is leaking gold and other precious metals, a study found. The elements emerge when ocean islands form.

Nan Ransohoff, the Frontier coalition’s founder, said the natural interactions between rocks and the CO₂ in rainwater already help planetary systems absorb around 1GT a year of CO₂.

A low-cost device draws moisture from air in the driest place on Earth, the Atacama Desert in Chile (Device 2025, DOI: 10.1016/j.device.2025.100798). The device uses a water-absorbing hydrogel ...

The revelation is unprecedented – rocks capable of absorbing all of the Earth’s CO₂. This groundbreaking development promises to revolutionize the fight against climate change, a battle that ...

Stanford figures out how to make rocks absorb carbon 1,000 times faster than nature The new process uses common minerals in kilns to absorb CO2 quickly and efficiently. Updated: Mar 03, 2025 08:25 ...

Their "molecularly functionalized biomass hydrogels" system transforms organic matter – such as food scraps, branches, and seashells – into a highly efficient water-absorbing substance.

Spreading crushed rocks on fields can absorb CO2 from the air – now chemists have devised a way to turbocharge this process by creating more reactive minerals By Madeleine Cuff 19 February 2025 ...

Depending on the properties of the particles in our water sample, they will absorb and scatter radiation at different wavelengths. The light’s wavelength determines the color we see with our eyes.

While surfaces with a high albedo reflect sunlight and keep our planet cool, surfaces with a low albedo, like rocks or water, absorb sunlight and warm up. Snow's albedo does more than just keep itself ...
