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, ...

We explore how far carbon structures are from revolutionizing the world.

If you want to buy a new carbon-fiber BMW, then don’t delay too long in realizing the dream; the i3 and i8 look set to be the last of the company’s products to feature carbon-fiber structures ...

In this interactive activity adapted from NOVA, explore the prevalence of ringed-carbon structures in the natural world, as well as the structural variations that give rise to their unique ...

"We propose a new metabolism-guided perspective for thinking about how different carbon structures accessible to soil microbes are processed," Aristilde said.

We tried many different additives and eventually found one that let us selectively build the same quaternary carbon-carbon bonds at carbon-fluorine sites," says first author Takanori Iwasaki.

The differing properties of carbon and diamond arise from their distinct crystal structures. In a diamond, the carbon atoms are arranged tetrahedrally.

The researchers plan to continue investigating the properties of these carbon structures, as well as checking different zeolites to determine whether other forms can be made.

This application note examines the influence of three carbon black types on the process ability of a rubber compound formulation for tire production.
