In the context of the Ford Mustang GTD, a carbon fiber aesthetics package is clinically uninteresting. I mean, this is a street-legal racecar made by Multimatic; it has an inboard rear suspension that you can see through plexiglass; it has a ridiculous 815-horsepower, supercharged 5.2-liter V8; it can lap the Nürburgring in well under 7 minutes; its wing is enormous … …

Deep-Sea Fish Are Secretly Shaping Earth’s Carbon Cycle  SciTechDaily Source link

A groundbreaking global study, recently published in Nature, reveals surprising findings about the state of ancient carbon storage and its impact on the atmosphere. For decades, scientists have assumed that carbon trapped deep in soils and rocks, often for thousands or even millions of years, was securely contained, unaffected by the forces of nature and human activity. However, a new …

“Potentially Huge Implications” – Scientists Discover Ancient Carbon Is Leaking Into the Atmosphere  SciTechDaily Source link

Tom MacDougall BBC News, Yorkshire Tom MacDougall/BBC Sheffield start-up company earth4Earth has developed a range of bricks designed to reduce carbon emissions A start-up company in Sheffield has launched environmentally-friendly bricks which absorb and permanently store greenhouse gases. Materials developer earth4Earth, based at Sheffield Technology Parks, said the bricks capture carbon dioxide from the air around them but are also …

A soil-dwelling microbe has shown a surprising ability to trap carbon dioxide and turn it into rock. Scientists have discovered that Bacillus megaterium, a common bacterium long known for its role in biotechnology, can convert CO₂ gas into solid calcium carbonate with an efficiency rarely seen in either nature or industry. The process, recently detailed in a study led by …
