So far, it has been observed in various materials, including recently in so-called multilayer graphene allotropes (i.e., materials that consist of several layers of a hexagonal carbon lattice).

Charcoal and graphite are also allotropes of carbon. However, there’s another allotrope—first identified in 1967 when scientists examining a meteorite in Canyon Diablo, Arizona—known today ...

For instance, carbon-derived materials like graphene are among the strongest on Earth, but once established, cracks propagate rapidly through them, making them prone to sudden fracture.

Those minerals owe their shape and shine to their highly organized structures. The carbon atoms in a diamond interact with each other to form repeated, predictable patterns. Much like the atoms in ...

This technology is part of what is known as carbon capture and storage (CCS). At the time of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol it was already being proposed as a way to reduce emissions in localised sources ...

Zinc-carbon batteries contain a zinc anode, a carbon rod cathode, and an acidic electrolyte (typically ammonium chloride or zinc chloride). Their simple construction makes them a cost-effective energy ...

Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a stable catalyst suitable for practical use. This stability was achieved through an in-depth study of "reconstruction," a complex chemical and ...

DETROIT (AP) — Two Detroit children who recently died in a van in below-freezing temperatures were victims of carbon monoxide, not exposure to cold weather, authorities said Wednesday.
