In a field in northern British Columbia, a white mineral covering the ground–magnesite, also called magnesium carbonate–has slowly been sequestering CO2 from the atmosphere since the last Ice Age. That's very helpful: we need to sequester more carbon. But the small crystals of the mineral, made by taking CO2 from the air, can take hundreds or thousands of years to grow, and we need fixes that work faster than that. In a Canadian lab, researchers recently demonstrated that they could speed the Read the full story
