So why do so many life-forms breathe oxygen? There are probably thousands of kinds of metabolisms, or chemical processes that maintain life, said Donald Canfield, a geobiologist at the University of ...

“By detecting these strong formations of carbon dioxide, we have shown that there is a considerable fraction of heavier elements, such as carbon, oxygen, and iron, in the atmospheres of these ...

To mitigate global climate change, emissions of the primary culprit, carbon dioxide, must be drastically reduced. A newly developed process helps solve this problem: CO 2 is directly split ...

He is best known for his discovery of hydrogen, which he called ‘inflammable air’ and produced by dissolving metals in acids, and ‘fixed air’ (carbon dioxide ... first to reveal that water wasn’t an ...

JWST recently observed gas giant planets in the system HR 8799 and detected the presence of carbon dioxide in their atmospheres ... where solid cores of heavier elements slowly attract gas (as ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have found a way to take carbon dioxide from the air and turn it into a fuel named syngas, creating a carbon-neutral energy cycle. But there’s still ...
