Carbon nanobelts are a fascinating class of carbon nanomaterials characterized by their belt-like structure. Unlike carbon nanotubes, which have continuous cylindrical surfaces, carbon nanobelts ...

Scientists have found a way to more than double the uptake ability of a chemical structure that can be used for scrubbing carbon dioxide from factory flues. Oregon State University scientists have ...

Despite its stability and abundance on Earth and in the wider Universe, carbon is an element for which little is known about the liquid state 1. This is mainly because carbon evaporates directly at ...

Carbon fibers consist of thin filaments (5–10 micrometers in diameter) made of long chains of carbon atoms arranged in a polycrystalline structure. These fibers contain 92–100 wt% anisotropic carbon ...

The chemistry of organic matter and life depends on carbon atoms. Its most prevalent isotope, carbon-12, has incredibly intricate mechanics. The energy and underlying structures of the nuclear states ...

Researchers have recently achieved a significant breakthrough in the development of next-generation carbon-based quantum materials, opening new horizons for advancements in quantum electronics. The ...

Researchers have been able to measure liquid carbon experimentally for the first time. They combined a high-power laser with the ultrashort X-ray laser flash of the European XFEL. With the declared ...

Scientists have found that most biochar fed to cattle survives digestion and returns in manure, where it may help store carbon in soil.

Cobalt nanoparticle-decorated carbon materials are hybrid catalysts that combine the catalytic activity of cobalt with the structure and conductivity of carbon supports. These materials offer improved ...

Carbon fiber is known for being incredibly strong, lightweight, and versatile—but how is it actually made? This article breaks down the key stages of carbon fiber manufacturing and shows how different ...
