Scientists say they have figured out how to transform rocks into something extraordinary: a high-tech, low-cost substance ...

Could a pile of rocks help to solve the climate crisis? Scientists at California’s Stanford University say they could. The ...

Scientists have discovered how to turn common minerals into materials that spontaneously remove and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In the lab, the materials pull CO2 from the air thousands ...

Spreading crushed rocks on fields can absorb CO2 from the air – now chemists have devised a way to turbocharge this process ...

Spreading crushed stone across farm fields could inexpensively pull CO2 from the air while also increasing yields. But it ...

Rivers began pumping weathered material into the sea about a billion years after Earth formed, suggesting continents may have gotten an early start.

The rocks on Earth are constantly changing due to many different processes. There are three main types of rock, with rocks changing between each type over millions of years. This rock recycling is ...

Weathering and erosion slowly chisel, polish, and buff Earth's rock into ever evolving works of art—and then wash the remains into the sea. The processes are definitively independent ...

Carbon removal schemes involving enhanced rock weathering should consider whether the rocks they use are lighter or darker than the soil, say researchers ...
