UCLA researchers develop new method for producing transparent conductors
Researchers at UCLA have developed a new method for producing a hybrid graphene-carbon nanotube, or G-CNT, for potential use as a transparent conductor in solar cells and consumer electronic devices. view more (2009-05-14)
New isotope cluster could lead to better understanding of atmospheric carbon dioxide
A team of researchers has discovered an unexpected concentration of a certain isotopic molecule in parts of the stratosphere that could have implications for understanding the carbon cycle and its response to climate change. view more (2009-07-15)
Carbon turns over much faster through basal food-chain levels in aquatic than in terrestrial ecosystems
Global temperatures have increased dramatically over the past century, which is causing major impacts on climate patterns, ocean circulation and wildlife preservation. The increase in temperature is largely due to a rise of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases, of which CO2 is one of the most important. To understand the capacity of... view more...

Before selling carbon credits, read this
Storing carbon in agricultural soils presents an immediate option to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide and slow global warming. view more (2007-05-21)
'Sticky nanotubes' hold key to future technologies
Researchers at Purdue University are the first to precisely measure the forces required to peel tiny nanotubes off of other materials, opening up the possibility of creating standards for nano-manufacturing and harnessing a gecko's ability to walk up walls. view more (2008-04-29)
Nanotube sandwiches could lead to better composite materials
By stacking layers of ceramic cloth with interlocking nanotubes in between, a team of researchers has created new composites with significantly improved properties compared to traditional materials. view more (2006-05-09)
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... view more...

Rise in atmospheric CO2 accelerates as economy grows, natural carbon sinks weaken
Human activities are releasing carbon dioxide faster than ever, while the natural processes that normally slow its build up in the atmosphere appear to be weakening. view more (2007-10-23)
Global climate change: a load of poo?
Plankton poo could be the key to understanding how much carbon dioxide our oceans can store according to Tasmanian researcher Dr Karin Beaumont. view more (2004-09-09)
Beneficial effects of no-till farming depend upon future climate change
By storing carbon in their fields through no-till farming practice, farmers can help countries meet targeted reductions in atmospheric carbon dioxide and reduce the harmful effects of global warming. view more (2005-10-13)
TREATING POLLUTED LAND WITH CARBON DIOXIDE
First a granular binder containing products which react with carbon is added to the contaminated soil and then carbon dioxide is pumped into the mixture. The three components rapidly combine to produce a cement that is very stable, and although marginally more expensive is immediately available for development. The land can then be used for... view more... (1999-11-25)
Climate change will affect carbon sequestration in oceans, model shows
The direct injection of carbon dioxide deep into the ocean has been suggested as one method to help control rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and mitigate the effects of global warming. view more (2005-09-08)
Transcontinental wildfire emissions monitored from space
Using data from the SCIAMACHY instrument aboard ESA's environmental satellite Envisat, scientists have determined that the carbon monoxide hovering over Australia during the wildfire season largely originated from South American wildfires some 13 000 kilometres away. view more (2007-05-09)
Carbon sinks losing the battle with rising emissions
The stabilising influence that land and ocean carbon sinks have on rising carbon emissions is gradually weakening, say scientists attending this week's international Copenhagen Climate Change Conference. view more (2009-03-17)
Nanotubes inspire new technique for healing broken bones
Scientists have shown for the first time that carbon nanotubes make an ideal scaffold for the growth of bone tissue. The new technique could change the way doctors treat broken bones, allowing them to simply inject a solution of nanotubes into a fracture to promote healing view more (2005-07-11)
Resilient form of plant carbon gives new meaning to term 'older than dirt'
A particularly resilient type of carbon from the first plants to regrow after the last ice age - and that same type of carbon from all the plants since - appears to have been accumulating for 11,000 years in the forests of British Columbia, Canada. view more (2006-11-27)
Carbon fiber--new muscle for old bridges
Forget the concept of "supporting wall." With the aid of carbon fiber it is now possible to reinforce concrete, making a concrete bridge, for example, considerably stronger. The method has been used to reinforce the much discussed trolley-car bridges in Stockholm, Sweden as well as many buildings and construction projects all around the... view more... (2003-06-16)
Deep sea algae connect ancient climate, carbon dioxide and vegetation
Assistant Professor Mark Pagani in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at Yale and his colleagues mapped the first detailed history of atmospheric carbon dioxide between 45-25 million years ago based on stable isotopes of carbon in a National Science Foundation study reported in Science Express. view more (2005-06-23)
Thawing permafrost likely to boost global warming
The thawing of permafrost in northern latitudes, which greatly increases microbial decomposition of carbon compounds in soil, will dominate other effects of warming in the region and could become a major force promoting the release of carbon dioxide and thus further warming, according to a new assessment in the September 2008 issue of BioScience. view more (2008-09-02)
Tiny 'cages' could trap carbon dioxide and help stop climate change
A natural physical process has been identified that could play a key role in secure sub-seabed storage of carbon dioxide produced by fossil-fuelled power stations. view more (2006-03-17)
