As the sun grew hotter, so did Mars, prompting much of its atmospheric carbon dioxide to rain out and ultimately get locked ...

On Earth, carbon dioxide moves between the air, oceans, and rocks in a balanced system. This study, published in Science, shows that a similar process once happened on Mars, but it was more of a ...

Why is Mars barren and uninhabitable, while life has always thrived here on our relatively similar planet Earth? A discovery ...

One of the great unsolved problems in modern planetary science is written on the surface of Mars. Mars has canyons that were ...

New research shows how Mars may have undone its own habitability, while Earth stayed stable enough to support life.

From sugar plantations in Brazil to tea estates in India, crushed rock is being sprinkled across large stretches of farmland ...

How heating rocks could help solve the climate crisis. Scientists at Stanford University developed carbon capture technique they say is more practical and cost-effective ...

“Past studies on rock weathering have measured how the weathering process affects carbon capture, but they’ve overlooked the production of other greenhouse gases,” says Qiang Zeng, an author ...

Mati Carbon walked away with the $50 million grand prize for its enhanced rock weathering program that locks carbon in soils for thousands of years. The Musk Foundation underwrote the prize.

Jake Jordan lives in St. Louis, but he travels a lot for his work. As Mati Carbon’s chief science officer, Jordan often finds himself halfway around the world in India or Africa, checking in with one ...
