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

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 ...

Researchers at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics have designed a rhodium catalyst whose microenvironment is tuned by both sulfur and phosphine ligands, based on an industrial single-site ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
