Instead of sulfur dioxide, the University of Washington researchers are using specially designed nozzles to spray misted seawater containing tiny particles of sea salt over the deck of the Hornet.

The processes that haul gold up to the surface from deep within Earth's mantle rely on the sulfur that bubbles beneath active volcanoes. Two new papers have agreed that some forms of sulfur form ...

Life on Earth began in a world of volcanic eruptions, violent storms, and a toxic atmosphere. Yet somehow, from this chaos, ...

Although the basic concept of electrostatic attraction has been known since ancient times, it was only in the 17th century that scientists began to systematically investigate electrostatics. One of ...

How did early life get the sulfur-containing molecules it desperately needed? Scientists have long assumed that biology itself invented these essential compounds. Laboratory experiments now suggest a ...

Geoengineering experiments like cloud brightening and sulfur dioxide injection are being explored to cool the planet. These technologies raise concerns about unintended consequences and could ...

Michael Diamond thought he’d have to wait until this year, at least, to have enough data to understand how a shipping regulation aimed at curbing pollution affected the clouds that deck the ocean.

Many artists have tried to depict what Earth might have looked like billions of years ago, before life made its appearance. Many scenes trade snow-covered mountains for lava-gushing volcanoes and blue ...
