The galaxy's nitrogen-to-carbon ratio is higher than that observed ... clusters formed in similar environments with similar nucleosynthesis and metallicity pollution from previous stars.

While dying stars do create lighter elements like carbon and oxygen, neutron star mergers generate staggering amounts of heavier elements through rapid neutron capture (r-process) nucleosynthesis. A ...

Electrostatic repulsion gives way to the pressure, breaking the Coulomb barrier and fusing two nuclei into one in a process called stellar nucleosynthesis ... has fused its carbon into oxygen.

A startup may have an answer, one that’s been inspired by batteries. RepAir Carbon is developing a new form of carbon capture the company says could drive the cost down as low as $70 to $80 per ...

Sometimes the simpler idea is the winner. That’s certainly the case with the winner of the Xprize Carbon Removal competition, which was announced on Wednesday. Mati Carbon walked away with the $ ...

Carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) technologies are no silver bullet. But are they just an excuse to continue burning fossil fuels? Due to the failure of many projects worldwide, there are ...

Costa Rican police revealed that they now believe ex Yankee Brett Gardner’s son may have died from carbon monoxide poisoning at the $1,300-per-night resort where the family was staying on vacation.
