Atomic beams diffracted through solids open new frontier in materials research
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Aug 25, 2025 Researchers at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) have achieved a world-first by diffracting a beam of atoms through a solid material. Until now, this had only been accomplished using electrons or neutrons. The experiment demonstrates that atoms, like waves, can form interference patterns when interacting with atomic lattice structures. This breakthrough opens the door to less destructive analysis methods for studying materials, offering potential applications in nanotechnology, biomedicine, and sp ... read more 
Low carbon taxes often fail to target emissions reductionBerlin, Germany (SPX) Aug 15, 2025 Most countries with low carbon taxes introduced them for reasons other than reducing greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new study in One Earth. Researchers from Friedrich Alexander University ... more |

Carbon 'offsets' aren't working. Here's a way to improve nature-based climate solutions Salt Lake City, UT (SPX) Aug 01, 2025 A lot of the climate-altering carbon pollution we humans release into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels gets drawn into Earth's oceans and landscapes through natural processes, mostly through p ... more 
MicroCarb satellite launch marks new era in urban carbon trackingLondon, UK (SPX) Jul 25, 2025 The UK and France have jointly launched MicroCarb, Europe's first satellite dedicated to carbon dioxide monitoring, in a major advancement for climate science. Deployed aboard a Vega-C rocket from F ... more 
MicroCarb satellite launches to map global carbon dioxide emissions from spaceParis, France (SPX) Jul 25, 2025 The MicroCarb satellite, developed by the French space agency CNES in partnership with the UK Space Agency, has been successfully launched from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. As Europe ... more 
Deep-sea fish confirmed as a significant source of ocean carbonateMiami FL (SPX) Jul 25, 2025 A new study offers the first direct evidence that deep-dwelling mesopelagic fish, which account for up to 94 percent of global fish biomass, excrete carbonate minerals at rates comparable to shallow ... more
