SCWO applies extreme heat and pressure to drive water to a supercritical fluid — allowing organic contaminants, including ...

University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers in the Department of Chemistry have created a molecule once thought too unstable to exist called methanetetrol using extreme, space-like conditions. The ...

A study on ancient rocks reveals how fossil fuels form: abundant life, salty water, some oxygen, and crucial protection from clay minerals washed in from land preserve organic matter, even without ...

The ocean's carbon removal system is being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of emissions we're producing. There's simply much more CO2 being pumped into the atmosphere than natural processes can handle ...

Centuries ago, alchemists worked furiously to convert the common metal lead to valuable gold. Today, chemists are repurposing ...

A research team has discovered an electrochemical method that allows highly selective para-position single-carbon insertion ...

A groundbreaking study in the journal Science, has unveiled how deep ocean currents—known as global overturning ...

Influent concentration, flow rate, and background dissolved organic carbon affect hydrophilic organic migration in biochar stormwater filters. A transport model predicts migration and quantifies di ...

The Mars Curiosity rover has found the largest organic molecules yet on the Red Planet. Organic molecules are the building blocks of life, although they can also be produced by geological processes.
