A new type of all-carbon molecule has been studied under normal room-temperature conditions. This is only the second time this has ever been done, after spherical buckyballs were synthesised 35 years ...

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 ...

A 3D rendering of a 48-carbon molecular ring threaded through three supporting cyclic molecules A supramolecular assembly keeps cyclo[48]carbon stable enough to analyze using a variety of ...

The image shows an atomic-scale visualization of monolayer amorphous carbon's structure, displaying a network of irregularly arranged carbon atoms (shown by the red lattice lines) with varying bond ...

Where would carbon-based life be without carbon? There are 118 known chemical elements, but carbon is the fourth most abundant and perhaps the most important to human life. Everywhere you look, ...

With climate change posing an unprecedented global challenge, the demand for environmentally friendly solvents in green ...
