Reducing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions is a crucial step towards mitigating climate change and protecting the environment on Earth. One proposed technology for reducing CO₂ emissions, particularly from power plants and industrial establishments, is carbon capture. Reducing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions is a crucial step towards mitigating climate change and protecting the environment on Earth. One…

In 2006, a group of preeminent scientists met for a two-day conference at the NASA Ames Research Center in California to discuss cooling the Earth by injecting particles into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight into space. At some point, one of the conference rooms became overheated. “The room was getting kind of hot, and somebody went over…
We often hear that Aboriginal peoples have been in Australia for 65,000 years, “the oldest living cultures in the world.” But what does this mean, given all living peoples on Earth have an ancestry that goes back into the mists of time? We often hear that Aboriginal peoples have been in Australia for 65,000 years, “the…
As predicted by the theory of general relativity, the passage of gravitational waves can leave a measurable change in the relative positions of objects. This physical phenomenon, known as gravitational wave memory, could potentially be leveraged to study both gravitational waves and spacetime. As predicted by the theory of general relativity, the passage of gravitational waves…
