Scientists say climate change mitigation strategies ignore carbon cycling processes of inland waters
In the paper, The Boundless Carbon Cycle, published in the September issue of Nature Geoscience, scientists from the University of Vienna, Uppsala University in Sweden, University of Antwerp, and the U.S. based Stroud™ Water Research Center argue that current international strategies to mitigate manmade carbon emissions and address climate... view more...

Tropical forests — Earth's air conditioner
Planting and protecting trees—which trap and absorb carbon dioxide as they grow—can help to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. view more (2007-04-10)
Will Large Amounts of Soil Carbon be Released to the Atmosphere if Grasslands are Converted to Energy Crops?
Grasslands in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) in the United States may be increasingly converted to growing bioenergy grain crops. view more (2009-02-17)
Complex carbon picture clearer
Study shows that more plant litter resulting from higher CO2 could boost the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere. view more (2007-12-12)
Cornell-led team detects dust around a primitive star, shedding new light on universe's origins
A Cornell-led team of astronomers has observed dust forming around a dying star in a nearby galaxy, giving a glimpse into the early universe and enlivening a debate about the origins of all cosmic dust. view more (2009-01-16)
Carbon dioxide laser resurfacing may reduce wrinkles over long term
Carbon dioxide laser resurfacing appears to be an effective long-term treatment for facial wrinkles, according to a report in the July/August issue of Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-07-22)
Chemical industry helped by small invisible tube
Chemists at Utrecht University have developed a catalyst for fine chemistry. Tiny tubes of graphite are the carrier for this catalyst. PhD student Tijmen Ros successfully tested the catalyst with a standard reaction. Fellow researchers are now making the catalyst suitable for the production of cinnamon alcohol, an aromatic substance and... view more... (2002-01-24)
Old growth forests are valuable carbon sinks
Contrary to 40 years of conventional wisdom, a new analysis to be published Friday in the journal Nature suggests that old growth forests are usually "carbon sinks" - they continue to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and mitigate climate change for centuries. view more (2008-09-11)
Hybrid structures combine strengths of carbon nanotubes and nanowires
A team of researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has created hybrid structures that combine the best properties of carbon nanotubes and metal nanowires. view more (2007-01-09)
Oxford University Fuel Cell Invention Wins Innovator of the Year Award
Researchers from Oxford University's Chemistry Department have won one of the three categories in the Carbon Trust Innovation Awards with their vision for sustainable energy provision. view more (2003-11-12)
Why Nanolayers Buckle when Microbeams Bend
High-strength, ultra-light and elastic carbon materials are commonly used in high-performance sports goods and modern aerospace technology-for example in tennis rackets, racing tyres, heat shields and even guitars. view more (2005-12-16)
Carbon dioxide and climate - the plot thickens
Using a novel technique, the researchers obtained a best estimate for carbon dioxide levels 43 million years ago of 385 parts per million (ppm), slightly higher than today's figure of 360 ppm. This result is far below earlier estimates which suggested that carbon dioxide levels were up to six times present day values. There are two ways to... view more... (1999-06-08)
The critical importance of mangroves to ocean life
Mangroves, the backbone of the tropical ocean coastlines, are far more important to the global ocean's biosphere than previously thought. view more (2006-02-28)
UCR Researchers Grow Bone Cells on Carbon Nanotubes
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have published findings that show, for the first time, that bone cells can grow and proliferate on a scaffold of carbon nanotubes. view more (2006-03-16)
Ice core studies confirm accuracy of climate models
An analysis has been completed of the global carbon cycle and climate for a 70,000 year period in the most recent Ice Age, showing a remarkable correlation between carbon dioxide levels and surprisingly abrupt changes in climate. view more (2008-09-12)
Method could help carbon nanotubes become commercially viable
Carbon nanotubes are intriguing new materials which have been highly touted for their exceptional mechanical, thermal, optical and electrical properties. view more (2006-10-05)
Tiny levels of carbon monoxide damage fetal brain
A UCLA study has discovered that chronic exposure during pregnancy to miniscule levels of carbon monoxide damages the cells of the fetal brain, resulting in permanent impairment. view more (2009-06-25)
Deep in the ocean, a clam that acts like a plant
How does life survive in the black depths of the ocean? At the surface, sunlight allows green plants to "fix" carbon from the air to build their bodies. view more (2007-02-21)
NJIT researchers seed, heat and grow carbon nanotubes in long tubing
In less than 20 minutes, researchers at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) can now seed, heat and grow carbon nanotubes in 10-foot-long, hollow thin steel tubing. view more (2006-08-07)
Conductive plastics made from natural, renewable, environmentally friendly soybeans
Polymer matrix composites with carbon black are very interesting materials. This is because the carbon black can be used as filler material and can beneficially modify the electrical and mechanical properties of the used matrixes. view more (2007-05-30)
