Magnesium silicate contains two minerals that, with heat, exchanged ions and turned into magnesium oxide and calcium silicate: minerals that weather quickly. “The process acts as a multiplier ...

Researchers in the United States find a low-cost method using rocks to trap carbon dioxide - one of biggest drivers of global warming ...

The minerals transformed into alkaline magnesium oxide and calcium silicate, both of which react quickly with acidic CO2 in the air. When the resulting minerals were exposed to water and pure CO2 ...

Research done on stem cells have allowed scientists to grow tooth pulps in dogs. This has triggered hopes that it might be ...

Chemists at Stanford University transformed minerals in rocks to absorb carbon dioxide out of the air. Matthew Kanan, senior author of a new study, explained that while the Earth has an endless supply ...

Concrete is the world's most widely used building material—but the production of cement, its key component, generates significant carbon dioxide emissions. New research at Umeå University shows how ...

The Stanford team used a similar process in their laboratory furnace, but instead of sand, they combined calcium oxide with another mineral containing magnesium and silicate ions. When heated ...

Let the best of Anthropocene come to you. Rocks are one of nature’s tools for trapping carbon dioxide from air and permanently locking it away. The silicate minerals found in certain rocks react with ...
