New process gets common rocks to trap carbon rapidly, cheaply
"Our work solves this problem in a way that we think is uniquely scalable." In nature, common minerals called silicates react with water and atmospheric CO 2 to form stable bicarbonate ions and ...
'Day temperature of 2,000°C': James Webb finds Neptune-like planet, so hot it’s evaporating before our eyes
James Webb found LTT 9779 b, a Neptune-like exoplanet with 2,000°C heat, extreme winds, and evaporating clouds—challenging ...
