“Our work solves this problem in a way that we think is uniquely scalable.” Silicates are a common group of rock-forming minerals that comprise the basis of the Earth’s crust and mantle.

Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology are studying feldspar, a ubiquitous mineral that makes up about half of the earth’s crust and plays a surprisingly important role in cloud ...

The new process uses heat to transform common minerals into materials that spontaneously pull carbon from the atmosphere and permanently sequester it. These reactive materials can be produced in ...
