New Farm Fertilizer Could Remove CO2 from Air, Improve Soil Quality
Researchers have identified a method to accelerate carbon mineralisation using calcium silicates in farm fertilizers. The process could sequester billions of tons of CO2 while benefiting soil health. Unlike traditional magnesium silicates, calcium silicates react faster with CO2, making the approach more efficient. Scientists are exploring ways to ...

NASA SPHEREx Mission to Map Water Ice in the Milky Way for Life’s Origins
NASA’s SPHEREx mission, launching February 27, will search for water ice and frozen compounds in the Milky Way’s molecular clouds. By surveying over 9 million regions, the mission aims to understand how these compounds influence planet and star formation. Findings will complement data from the James Webb Space Telescope, enhancing insights into...

Curiosity Rover Observes Iridescent Clouds on Mars, Offering New Insights
NASA’s Curiosity rover has captured rare iridescent clouds drifting across the Martian sky, observed at high altitudes in twilight conditions. These carbon dioxide ice clouds were seen forming between 60 and 80 kilometres above the surface before evaporating as they descended. Scientists believe their presence hints at unknown cooling mechanisms ...

NASA’s Curiosity Rover Captures Stunning Feather-Shaped Iridescent Cloud on Mars
A remarkable feather-shaped iridescent cloud was spotted by NASA’s Curiosity rover on Mars. Captured during a seasonal imaging campaign, this phenomenon provides valuable data on Martian weather patterns. Scientists believe such clouds help study particle sizes and atmospheric changes. The cloud, composed of either water ice or carbon dioxide ice...

Romania’s ‘Living’ Rocks Expand and Multiply in a Strange Natural Process
Trovants, mysterious geological formations found in Romania’s Costești region, are known for their unique ability to grow and multiply. These rocks, formed millions of years ago due to seismic activity, consist of a hard stone core surrounded by a porous sandstone shell. When rainwater rich in minerals like calcium carbonate seeps into the rock,...

Chinese Astronauts Successfully Generate Oxygen and Rocket Fuel Through Artificial Photosynthesis in Space
Chinese astronauts aboard the Tiangong space station have made a significant breakthrough by successfully producing oxygen and rocket fuel through artificial photosynthesis. Using carbon dioxide and water, the process mimics the natural photosynthesis found in plants, with the potential to produce methane or formic acid with minor adjustments. Unli...

Microbes Uncovered in Amazon Peatlands Could Alter Global Carbon Dynamics
Microscopic organisms found in the tropical peatlands of Peru’s northwestern Amazon are helping regulate the carbon cycle, a key factor in Earth’s climate. These microbes, part of the Bathyarchaeia group, thrive in waterlogged, oxygen-deprived conditions and exhibit unique metabolic behaviours that either store or release carbon. Researchers wa...

Mutant Cyanobacterium Chonkus Could Help Combat Climate Change with Carbon Storage
Chonkus, a mutant strain of cyanobacterium, has been found to store more carbon and sink faster than typical strains. Discovered by Max Schubert and his team at the Wyss Institute, this microbe could assist in carbon sequestration efforts. Chonkus' quick sinking ability and high carbon storage capacity suggest it may play a role in reducing atmosph...
