A 3,775-year-old log discovery has lent credence to the idea of burying wood to sequester the carbon it contains. Known as a wood vault, the concept helps keep CO2 out of the atmosphere while allowing the soil to be used for crops and other purposes.Co… Continue reading Carbon-locking wood vault concept advanced by discovery of ancient log

BC8 superdiamonds are harder than any known material, but they likely only exist in the cores of giant exoplanets. Now, the Frontier supercomputer has unraveled the secret of their formation, a finding that could lead to their production on Earth.Conti… Continue reading World’s fastest supercomputer derives recipe for otherworldly diamond
Using biowaste from cassava plants, scientists have created a coating that virtually eliminates friction in metal parts. The breakthrough has the potential to deliver better fuel economy, extend the lifespan of moving parts, and deliver enormous saving… Continue reading New ‘superlubricity’ coating is a step toward friction-free machines
Despite an ever-growing body of evidence indicating we’re now living beneath unprecedented levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases, a lack of thorough historical knowledge has hindered our ability to put present-day CO2 emissions into a concrete, long-t… Continue reading This 50,000-year-old block of ice reveals the true state of CO2 levels now
The supercapacitor is an extremely promising energy storage technology, and though they have yet to reach parity with the best batteries in terms of energy density, offers considerable promise for …read more Continue reading A Supercapacitor From Mushrooms
Carbon, an experimental programming language, entered TIOBE’s top 100 ranking in February. Continue reading TIOBE Index News (February 2024): Programming Language Go Reaches a New High at Number Eight
For many people who live in places that get “real” winters, barbecuing is an activity that simply gets put on hold once the snow flies. The Grill-X was designed with that fact in mind, as it reportedly brings a charcoal flavor to foods grilled indoors…. Continue reading Grill-X aims to put a charcoal(ish) barbecue in your kitchen
It might seem a little bit counterintuitive, but one of the more carbon-neutral ways of heating one’s home is by burning wood. Since the carbon for the trees came out …read more Continue reading Feeding The Fire by Robot
Researchers have developed a new, lightweight foam made from carbon nanotubes that, when used as a helmet liner, absorbed the kinetic energy caused by an impact almost 30 times better than liners currently used in US military helmets. The foam could pr… Continue reading Novel helmet liner 30 times better at stopping concussions
