Data from China's Zhurong rover has revealed what appears to be an ancient shoreline streaking through Mars' northern hemisphere.

Berkeley chemists have created a reusable material that pulls carbon dioxide from the air and holds onto it until it can be stored.

Entanglement lets researchers watch plants in action without disruptive visible light

With carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere increasing in recent decades, there is a growing urgency to find strategies for capturing and holding carbon.

What's the difference between an asteroid and a comet? A comet is basically a dirty iceball composed of rock and ice. The classic image is of a bright "star" in the night sky with a long curved tail extending into space. This is what happens when they approach the Sun and start emitting gases and re...

Where did Mars' water go? A new study using data from NASA's InSight mission provides evidence for oceans of water on Mars, deep below the surface in the crust. The post Oceans of water on Mars deep underground? first appeared on EarthSky.

Soil aggregates are the basic units of soil structure and serve as a reservoir for soil carbon, playing a crucial role in the carbon cycle of ecosystems. The pore characteristics of soil aggregates influence the mineralization of soil organic carbon. However, research on the mechanisms of soil organic carbon sequestration at the aggregate level in Mollisols is limited.
