When preventing pre-eclampsia, a little carbon monoxide goes a long way
Researchers have shown that carbon monoxide may prevent the placental cell death caused by oxidative stress injury, possibly averting the risks of pre-eclampsia. View More (2006-09-05)


Rising carbon dioxide in atmosphere also speeds carbon loss from forest soils, IU-led research finds
Elevated levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide accelerate carbon cycling and soil carbon loss in forests, new research led by an Indiana University biologist has found.  View More (2012-07-11)



U.S. Rivers and Streams Saturated With Carbon
Rivers and streams in the United States are releasing substantially more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than previously thought. View More (2011-10-20)


Research gives new meaning to 'green' cross code
Pedestrians could reduce the amount of traffic pollution they breathe in simply by crossing the street, according to the latest research from the University of Leeds. View More (2009-10-05)


Improved wettability of carbon nanotubes opens the door to new possibilities
Carbon nanotubes have long been touted as the wonder material of the future but their wonder properties can also be their downfall. The non reactive nature of carbon nanotubes means they can be difficult to incorporate into other materials for real world applications. View More (2007-11-26)


Increasing carbon dioxide and decreasing oxygen in the oceans will make it harder for deep-sea animals to
New calculations made by marine chemists from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) suggest that low-oxygen "dead zones" in the ocean could expand significantly over the next century. View More (2009-04-20)


New materials remove CO2 from smokestacks, tailpipes and even the air
Scientists are reporting discovery of an improved way to remove carbon dioxide - the major greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming - from smokestacks and other sources, including the atmosphere. View More (2012-01-05)


UA scientists part of Supreme Court case on carbon dioxide emissions
Four faculty members from The University of Arizona in Tucson were part of an amicus curiae brief supporting the plaintiff in today's historic U.S. Supreme Court decision on carbon dioxide emissions and climate change. View More (2007-04-03)


Global temperatures could rise more than expected, new study shows
The kinds of increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide taking place today could have a significantly larger effect on global temperatures than previously thought, according to a new study led by Yale University geologists. View More (2009-12-21)


Organic carbon suggests Swedish lakes were less acidified
During the 1970s and 1980s, researchers and policymakers became increasingly worried about multiple consequences of acidic emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from the stacks of power stations, and eventually they were controlled.  View More (2011-08-01)


Last time carbon dioxide levels were this high: 15 million years ago, scientists report
You would have to go back at least 15 million years to find carbon dioxide levels on Earth as high as they are today, a UCLA scientist and colleagues report Oct. 8 in the online edition of the journal Science.  View More (2009-10-09)


New Business/Academic Partnership delivers £14 M for low carbon innovation
(Press Release issued by Carbon Trust and EPSRC) Today (11 November), Carbon Trust and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) announces the launch of a new £14 million investment initiative which will marry the needs of business with the capabilities of University R&D departments to deliver on low carbon technologies and solutions in the UK. The partnership -... View More (2002-11-11)


Identification of carbon dioxide receptors in insects may help fight infectious disease
Mosquitoes don't mind morning breath. They use the carbon dioxide people exhale as a way to identify a potential food source. But when they bite, they can pass on a number of dangerous infectious diseases, such as malaria, yellow fever, and West Nile encephalitis. View More (2006-12-14)


City dwellers produce as much CO2 as countryside people do
Most previous studies have indicated that people in cities have a smaller carbon footprint than people who live in the country. View More (2011-06-28)


Another type of nanotube, a how-to guide to making bamboo-structured carbon nanotubes

CO2 effects on plants increases global warming
Trees and other plants help keep the planet cool, but rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are turning down this global air conditioner. View More (2010-05-04)


Northwest Forest Plan has unintended benefit - carbon sequestration
The Northwest Forest Plan enacted in 1993 was designed to conserve old-growth forests and protect species such as the northern spotted owl, but researchers conclude in a new study that it had another powerful and unintended consequence - increased carbon sequestration on public lands. View More (2011-07-25)


High Value Semiconducting Carbon Nanotubes
Moore's Law states that the number of transistors on a chip doubles every eighteen months. However current silicon technologies are approaching the limits imposed by quantum mechanics, which will stop Moore's Law in its tracks within 20 years. New materials and techniques must be found to complement and increase the capabilities of the current silicon technologies to maintain the growth and... View More (2004-07-09)


Scientists find key to ocean bacterium that helps control greenhouse gas
Scientists are a step closer to understanding how the world's oceans influence global warming - as well supply us with the oxygen we breathe. A study led by Imperial College London has revealed how the most abundant ocean bound photosynthetic bacterium helps control levels of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. Reporting in Nature the researchers provide new detail on how Prochlorococcus... View More (2003-08-27)
