Researchers characterize the structure of liquid carbon for the first time, thanks to experiments at the European XFEL ...

A facile method for the preparation of thin-film carbon electrodes by electron beam evaporation onto highly doped silicon is presented. The physical and electrochemical properties of these films both ...

Researchers have created a new ultra-strong carbon called MAC, eight times stronger than graphene, opening the door to durable technologies.

Brookhaven National Laboratory have designed a new way to convert abundant carbon dioxide (CO2) into formate (HCO2-), an ...

Soils are not just the ground we walk on or a medium to plant into – they are dynamic, living energy systems with a host of ...

What Are Fluoropolymers? An OverviewFluoropolymers represent a remarkable class of high-performance synthetic polymers characterized by the presence of multiple carbon-fluorine (C-F) bonds within ...

The vertical-structure heterojunction has been highlighted as a promising candidate for the solar-blind ultraviolet (UV) photodetector (PD) due to the control of its channel length and the strong ...

Chemical sensing and bioimaging based on carbon dots (CDs) heavily rely on a fundamental understanding of photoluminescence (PL) behavior and regulation. This work aims to provide mechanistic insights ...

Could the future of clean energy hinge on the spin of a single electron? A new scientific review suggests it might.

Some carbenes, for example, can serve as electron donors through their lone pair of electrons. But carbon atoms with four bonds to other species are poor electron donors. Scheiner and Zierkiewicz, ...

Researchers successfully freeze light into a supersolid, a groundbreaking discovery with potential applications in quantum ...
