Supercritical Water-Assisted Carbon Capture: Carbonic Ester Intermediate Reveals Novel CO Dissolution MechanismA new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) has made significant progress in understanding the complex reaction mechanism of carbon dioxide (CO) in supercritical water, offering new hope for developing more efficient carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. This groundbreaking research reveals the role of carbonic ester as a key reaction intermediate, providing a solid foundation for future CCS innovations...

Three Gorges Dam Braces for Flood Peak, Flood Control Enters Critical Stage in the Yangtze River BasinOn July 11, Nanfang Daily learned that the upper reaches of the Yangtze River will experience multiple rises in water levels over the next week, with the Three Gorges Dam expected to face a flood peak with an inflow of approximately 45,000 cubic meters per second around July 12.The Three Gorges Dam, a "national treasure" within the Yangtze River Basin's flood control system, plays a crucial role in this year's flood season...
