(Nanowerk News) Many substances with different chemical and physical properties, from diamonds to graphite, are made up of carbon atoms. Amorphous forms of solid carbon do not have a fixed crystal ...

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 ...

Carbon occurs on the Earth in a variety of structures and forms. Elemental Carbon is usually formed under conditions of high pressure and temperature. Researchers have now, for the first time, ...

X-RAY examination 1 indicates the presence of graphite in specimens of amorphous carbon. Y. Oshima and Y. Fukuda 2 conclude that coke and charcoal consist of minute particles of graphite contaminated ...

It’s pretty simple, really—take a piece of glass, coat it with carbon, and zap it with a laser for a brief moment—but the results are pretty incredible. Following that recipe, materials scientists ...

Chemists have fashioned tiny dots of carbon that glow in response to light. The nanoparticles may find uses in biological imaging as alternatives to quantum dots, fluorescent spheres of semiconductors ...

The research illustrates how much scientists still have to learn about a molecule as simple as water. By Kenneth Chang Shaken and chilled — but not stirred — ordinary frozen water turns into something ...

Life on the Earth is based on carbon. Through the course of evolution, living organisms have learned to form and process large numbers of different carbon compounds. Carbon is the cornerstone of most ...
