Australia-based semiconductor company Archer Materials has developed an advanced carbon film that can boost the production of quantum materials. The electron spin of these films lasts for 400 ...

Now, a team of researchers from Hokkaido University has isolated a compound in which a single electron is shared between two carbon atoms in a remarkably stable covalent bond, known as a sigma bond.

Scientists discover a single-electron bond in a carbon-based compound Date: September 25, 2024 Source: Hokkaido University Summary: The discovery of a stable single-electron covalent bond between ...

Chemists at Hokkaido University have experimentally confirmed the existence of a single-electron carbon-carbon bond for the first time (Nature 2024, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-07965-1). Linus Pauling ...

And now, carbon can put one more feather in its cap—the ability to form single electron bonds. In new research , scientists have realized a century-old dream of a single electron covalent bond ...

Since any single electron bond between carbon atoms is bound to be weak, chemists searching for an example needed to find a way to stabilize molecules, rather than have other reactions destroy them.

Carbon films and coatings are widely recognized for their application in electron microscopy due to their minimal imaging interference and reasonably strong electrical properties. Thin films, usually ...

If the carbon nanotube arrays can be used as electron emitters, they would operate at lower temperatures with less power – and without using the limited on-board propellant.

Taken with an electron microscope, these images show the grid of carbon nanotube dots. On the right, you can see an up-close view of one of these dots.
