A 42-year experiment reveals the surprising persistence of carbon in retired farmland soils
New research turns an old assumption on its head. Retired farmlands, researchers discovered, were a carbon sink, not a source.| Anthropocene

Researchers calculated how much carbon is locked up in city buildings—and then started thinking about how to keep it there| Anthropocene
A new analysis of 3,500 US cities reveals that the carbon “hoofprint” of meat can vary more than threefold depending on where it’s produced—and where it’s eaten.| Anthropocene
Engineers have made a nanofiber filter that fits in building ventilation systems and soaks up CO2 at lower cost than massive direct-air capture plants.| Anthropocene
New self-charging lights co-designed by scientists and fishers slash turtle entanglements and could become a model for sustainable tech at sea.| Anthropocene
The answer lies in strategic charging to encourage solar and wind power development| Anthropocene
Short answer: Not yet. Scientists modeled renewable-powered “plant factories” and found they could meet China’s entire vegetable demand while freeing farmland. But the carbon cost of building the systems is still too high.| Anthropocene
A little over 1.5 cups of a yellow powder made of tiny porous polymer particles can capture as much carbon dioxide in a year as a mature tree.| Anthropocene
