Chemists at Stanford University have developed a low-cost way to remove carbon dioxide (CO) from the atmosphere using an unlikely source: rocks. The process involves heating common minerals, so they ...

Scientists have discovered how to turn common minerals into materials that spontaneously remove and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In the lab, the materials pull CO2 from the air thousands ...

Reducing carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere is critical to slowing global warming. While direct air capture (DAC) ...

Discover how rocks, minerals & the rock cycle change your world. Join the Science Trek team to explore rocks and minerals! Discover how the Earth formed, the three types of rocks, the rock cycle, and ...

Test your rock & mineral smarts—are you a Rock Star? Think you know rocks and minerals? Take the Science Trek quiz! Test your smarts on gold, salt, Earth’s oldest rocks, gemstones on Mars, and the ...
