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 are proposing a new way to make cement by replacing limestone with volcanic ...

Cement production alone currently accounts for about 8 percent of global CO 2 emissions, so considerable effort is going into lowering that number. Efficiency can be increased, and energy sources can ...

A new process could enable crushed rocks to capture carbon dioxide from the air much more quickly, turbocharging a carbon removal technique that is already being widely adopted. Natural silicate ...

Research reveals basalt-derived calcium can cut Portland cement emissions, reduce energy use by 30%, and produce valuable ...

Stanford University chemists have developed a practical, low-cost way to permanently remove atmospheric carbon dioxide, the main driver of global warming and climate change. The new process uses heat ...

Russell has a PhD in the history of medicine, violence, and colonialism. His research has explored topics including ethics, science governance, and medical involvement in violent contexts. Russell has ...
