For the first time, scientists are able to see the crystalline structure of carbon dioxide--a view that could help them learn how the crystals cause the greenhouse effect. ... Scientists say knowing the crystalline structure may give them clues to the capacity of carbon dioxide gas to absorb and re-radiate energy,
