When it comes to diatoms that live in the ocean, new research suggests that photosynthesis is not the only strategy for accumulating carbon. Instead, these single-celled plankton are also building ...
A team of chemists at the University of Surrey has developed a process that converts stale bread into hydrogen gas using bacteria, then feeds that hydrogen directly into chemical reactions that ...
The movement of carbon between the atmosphere, oceans and continents -- or carbon cycle -- regulates Earth's climate, with the ocean playing a major role in carbon sequestration. A new study finds ...
Conceptual framework illustrating the possible relationships between microbial CUE and R h on the basis of stoichiometric theory and microbial community theory. Soils store more carbon than the ...
Researchers show that an Earth-sized planet likely needs at least 20 to 50% of the water in Earth's oceans to maintain a ...
This image shows a comparison between the synthetic biology–engineered plant (right) and the wild-type plant. Dr. Liao’s team has developed a novel “McG plant” with a mechanism that recycles the ...
Where would carbon-based life be without carbon? There are 118 known chemical elements, but carbon is the fourth most abundant and perhaps the most important to human life. Everywhere you look, ...
