Chemists have discovered a completely unexpected shortcut in the global sulfur cycle. This process is determined by tiny organisms in the ocean's plankton. Sulphur is found in many different compounds ...

Lithium sulfur batteries are often touted as the next major chemistry for electric vehicle applications, if only their cycle life wasn’t so short. But that might be changing soon, as a group of ...

Geochemist Alexandra Phillips has sulfur on her mind. The yellow element is a vital macronutrient, and she’s trying to understand how it cycles through the environment. Specifically, she’s curious ...

The hybrid sulfur cycle, integrating thermal and electrochemical processes, has emerged as a promising route for sustainable hydrogen production with minimal carbon emissions. At its core, the process ...

The Sturtian Snowball Earth glaciation (717~660 million years ago) represents the most severe icehouse climate in Earth's history. Geological evidence indicates that, during this glaciation, ice ...

Nutrient cycles such as the carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous and sulfur cycles are critical processes that free up elements essential to life by recycling them through our water, air, and soil. Sulfur, ...

Researchers have discovered a new compound that helps us better understand how microbes keep the sulfur cycle turning, making it possible for us to enjoy ocean views and survive near the water. Now, ...
