12-07-25 Emerging techniques to pull carbon dioxide from the air and store it away to stabilize the climate may become increasingly important as the planet tips into a state of potentially dangerous warming, researchers from Columbia University's Earth Insti...

12-07-20 Global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) -- the main cause of global warming -- increased by 3% last year, reaching an all-time high of 34 billion tonnes in 2011. In China, the world's most populous（人口稠密的） country, average emissions of CO2 in...

12-07-18 A network of p orous（多孔渗水的） carbon tubes that is three-dimensionally interwoven（互相编织） at nano and micro level -- this is the lightest material in the world. It weights only 0.2 milligrams per cubic centimetre, and is therefore 75 times...

12-06-13 A novel porous（多孔渗水的） material that has unique carbon dioxide retention（保留） properties has been developed through research led by The University of Nottingham. The findings, published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Materials, form pa...
