We may soon have no choice but to fiddle more directly with the climate
Once written off as sci-fi fantasy, geoengineering now looks like the last best hope to avert harmful climate change. (Editorial)
Industrial-scale attempts to capture CO2 from coal-burning power plants or oil refineries and lock it away deep underground are getting an unprecedented boost from the U.S. government's $787 billion stimulus package.
Data from multiple ocean basins elucidate an ancient climate transition from greenhouse to icehouse.
About 34 million years ago, Earth's climate shifted from a relatively ice-free world to one with glacial conditions on Antarctica characterized by substantial ice sheets. How Earth's temperature changed during this climate transition remains poorly understood, and evidence for Northern Hemisphere polar ice is controversial.
chemical sciences Sugars preserve organs longer Growth of ice crystals during organ preservation at low temperatures leaves them unfit for transplantation. Several carbohydrates have the ability to prevent the growth of ice crystals. This ability correlates with the hydration number which is the number of water molecules bound to one carbohydrate molecule. A team of scientists
