Key Highlights
•
A new study shows that injecting carbon dioxide (CO₂) into a hot, salty geothermal reservoir in Turkey can permanently trap the gas by turning it into solid minerals like calcite. This means geothermal power plants could potentially pull double duty, generating clean heat while also safely storing CO₂ underground.

Researchers have identified a major challenge for “anode-free” sodium batteries, where the gradual loss of active sodium metal limits their lifespan and performance. Solving this problem is crucial for developing cheaper, high-energy batteries that don’t rely on scarce materials like lithium or cobalt.

Scientists mapped the shapes and sizes of a chain of volcanoes on Mars, providing clues about the planet’s volcanic history and internal heat sources. Understanding past geothermal activity on other planets helps us better recognize potential geothermal resources and geological processes here on Earth.
