The James Webb Space Telescope has provided new insights into the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A, revealing detailed structures of carbon monoxide and argon ejecta. These findings challenge previous beliefs about dust formation in the early universe, showing that CO molecules are reforming after the reverse shock, which may protect dust in the ejecta. The study highlights the complex processes of molecular formation and destruction in supernova remnants and their role in cosmic dust formation.

Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide ices on trans-Neptunian objects for the first time, revealing new insights into the formation and migration of celestial bodies in our solar system. The study, led by researchers from the University of Central Florida, found CO2 in 56 out of 59 observed objects, suggesting these ices are more widespread than previously thought. This discovery could significantly enhance our understanding of the early solar system's composition and the evolution of these distant objects.

MIT chemical engineers have developed an efficient method to convert carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide using electricity and a DNA-tethered catalyst, which can then be used to produce useful compounds like ethanol and other fuels. This process, if scaled up for industrial use, could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and other sources. The technology, developed by MIT's Ariel Furst and her team, has the potential for commercial use through a company called Helix Carbon, and could contribute to the decarbonization of various industries.

High carbon monoxide levels were detected in a Framingham apartment building, leading to the evacuation of residents and hospitalization of a toddler. The levels were caused by a malfunctioning exhaust pipe on a boiler, and the affected building will have no heat or hot water until repairs are made. Residents were allowed back inside after the building was vented, and the city's plumbing inspector will oversee the repairs.

The Lenox Hotel in Boston was evacuated after a transformer explosion in the back of the building caused a buildup of smoke and elevated levels of carbon monoxide. The Boston Fire Department responded to the incident and brought in multiple fans to clear out the carbon monoxide. No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire is currently being investigated.

A study suggests that drinking foam infused with carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas found in cigarettes, could improve cancer treatment outcomes. Researchers created gas-entrapping materials (GEM) to safely contain carbon monoxide and found that mice given the foam alongside an experimental cancer treatment saw better responses. The study opens a promising new frontier in the quest to improve cancer therapies by harnessing the benefits of higher carbon monoxide levels without including the health risks of cigarettes.

Researchers have developed a novel approach to cancer therapy involving a foam infused with carbon monoxide, which has shown promising results in tests on mice and human tissue in the lab. The approach is based on the observation that cancer patients who smoke have better outcomes for a treatment aimed at restricting a process of cell death called autophagy. The foam, created using Gas-Entrapping Materials (GEMs), was given to mice with pancreatic and prostate cancers, leading to significant reductions in tumor growth and progression. Further research and clinical trials are needed to determine the effectiveness and safety of this approach for cancer patients.

Fourteen people were hospitalized, with one in serious condition, due to a carbon monoxide incident near Yale University. The incident occurred during construction work when workers used a propane-powered saw without proper ventilation. Yale issued an alert to its community and emergency personnel responded to the scene at 73 Howe St. The area has since been cleared, and Howe Street is open to normal traffic.
