Carbon dioxide (CO₂) pollution drives climate change, warming the planet and threatening human survival. Plants naturally turn CO₂ into oxygen (O₂) during photosynthesis, but their efficiency is ...

A new electrochemical device holds potential to directly split carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon and pure oxygen. The team from Nanjing University in China states that this technique could prove ...

Missions to the moon or Mars could get more sustainable life support from a chemical reaction that turns the carbon dioxide exhaled by astronauts into carbon nanotubes and water – which is then ...

Scientists have developed a technology that may help humans survive on the Moon. In a study publishing July 16 in the Cell Press journal Joule, researchers extracted water from lunar soil and used it ...
