OceanGate co-founder Guillermo Sohnlein revealed during U.S. Coast Guard hearings Monday the company had built the Titan submersible from carbon fiber because they wanted a more lightweight vessel ...

NASA was originally supposed to help OceanGate build the controversial carbon fiber hull for its submersible, but the plan was scrapped because of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to internal ...

The oceans play a pivotal role in drawing down atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) and have so far acted as a brake on the full ...

Carbon, a building block of life, is constantly moving through different environmental compartments such as biota, the atmosphere, the ocean, soil and sediment, as part of what is called ‘the global ...

Microscopic organisms in the ocean play a key role in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. A new study unveils a hidden biological factor that could change our understanding of how this ...

Rain has so far been ignored in calculations of the ocean's capacity to take up carbon, but a new estimate shows it enhances the ocean sink by 5% to 7%. Three decades ago, David Ho set up two pink ...

Schematic representation of carbon fiber preparation from polyacrylonitrile. The turbostratic structure of PAN CF contrasts with the mesophase pitch CFs, which form strongly directional (sheet ...

But he said this was part of the point of his experimental submersible, which he described as an innovative new way to explore the ocean's depths ... behind me. Carbon fiber and titanium?

With a unique density that allows it to sink to the sea floor, the microorganism could find a place in ocean carbon sequestration, or the removal of carbon dioxide from the environment to ease ...

Researchers have found that rain improves the ocean's ability to sequester carbon dioxide, boosting its capacity by 5% to 7%. Their discovery changes not only our understanding of weather-related ...
