By identifying a new way to wrestle fluorine from carbon compounds, chemists may now be able to break down certain types of greenhouse gases before they reach the atmosphere.Published: Thursday, August 28th, 2008Found in: Matter & Energy -
Removing carbon dioxide from smokestacks and storing it permanently is one of the possible solutions to global warming, but remains expensive to do. A new technique could make carbon sequestration economical on a large scale, while producing useful materials on the side.Published: Friday, August 22nd, 2008Found in: Chemistry, Environment and Science & Society
