A new study shows the carbon-capturing phytoplankton colonized the ocean by rafting on particles of chitin.

Matt Shoulders will lead an interdisciplinary team to improve RuBisCO — the photosynthesis enzyme thought to be the holy grail for improving agricultural yield.

J-WAFS researchers are using remote sensing observations to build high-resolution systems to monitor drought.

In a worst-case scenario, oceans will hit a tipping point in their ability to soak up emissions by 2100, researchers report.

A new engineered wood could cut both emissions and construction costs. It's also stronger than normal, untreated wood, researchers say.

MIT chemists found a way to cut the carbon footprint of producing white phosphorus, an ingredient in many consumer products.

A new method for removing the greenhouse gas from the ocean could be far more efficient than existing systems for removing it from the air.

"We were surprised at how significant a role dust accumulation played in switching coral reefs from a CO2 source to a CO2 sink."

Geochemical evidence suggests that carbon dioxide levels may have been much lower millions of years before the emergence of large forests.

Researchers have used isotopes of carbon to trace how carbon dioxide emissions could be converted into low-carbon fuels and chemicals. The result could help
