Graphyne is a crystalline form of carbon that is distinct from both diamond and graphite. Unlike diamond, where each atom possesses four immediate neighbors, or graphite, where each atom has three ...

Canadians may think they're intimately familiar with ice in all its forms, but there is one kind that most have probably ...

Scientists have discovered a new form of superhard carbon that, unlike diamonds, could have equally strong hardness in all directions.

Including ice I, 18 crystalline forms of ice were known so far, which differ in the arrangement of their atoms. The different types of ice, known as polymorphs, form depending on pressure and ...

What can space ice teach scientists about finding life beyond Earth? This is what a recent study published in Physical Review ...

A research team, affiliated with South Korea's Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) has reported a discovery of a new form of carbon.

The isotopic composition of carbon in iron formations from the Saglek-Hebron Complex in Nunatsiavut (northern Labrador) has been seen as evidence of the earliest traces of life on Earth. But a new ...

Graphyne is a crystalline form of carbon that is distinct from both diamond and graphite. Unlike diamond, where each atom possesses four immediate neighbors, or graphite, where each atom has three, ...

Carbon is neither very electronegative nor electropositive, which means it neither steals nor throws off electrons when left to its own devices. Its geometry lets it form crystals, and its charge ...
