Physicists Pinpoint the Quantum Origin of the Greenhouse Effect | Quanta Magazine
Carbon dioxide’s powerful heat-trapping effect has been traced to a quirk of its quantum structure. The finding may explain climate change better than any computer model.

Irregular Is What’s Regular for CO2 Storage Plumes
A critical challenge for those designing carbon dioxide storage sites is predicting where the injected gas will go. One of the only sure bets is to assume that any model of a gas plume that looks symm...
