CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 7, 2007 — Researchers at Harvard University and Pennsylvania State University have invented a technology, inspired by nature, to reduce the accumulation of atmospheric carbon ...

Anisovolumetric weathering is much more common than previously thought, and variations in this process can be explained by climate and erosion. Research led by the University of Wyoming shows that ...

Geochemical weathering in mineral deposits encompasses the breakdown of primary rock‐forming minerals, the mobilisation and fixation of liberated elements, and the development of secondary mineral ...

Scientists found that thawing permafrost can trigger increased rock weathering, a natural process that absorbs CO2 from the ...

Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. Reverse weathering is one of the ocean's most important yet least understood geochemical processes. During this natural process, ...

Earthworms, the hardworking invertebrates that grace the upper layers of soil, have long been considered helpful in our home gardens. Earthworms are prolific munchers, grinding up organic material and ...

On the Moon, the lack of atmosphere and accompanying features such as biological activity, oxygen-rich air, flowing water and rain, wind, and most erosion allows the lunar regolith to preserve a ...

Research led by the University of Wyoming shows that physical weathering is far more important than previously recognized in the breakdown of rock in mountain landscapes. Because it is difficult to ...
