Optimized geometries of carbon atomic chains constrained by two GNRs with various types of edges. (a) a 8-sp-atom chain bridging two GNRs with 5-7 edges, (b) a 9-sp-atom chain bridging two GNRs with ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a standard imaging technique for the structural characterization of surfaces in different fields of materials science, surface science, and biology. Carbon nanotubes ...

A new atomically precise carbon sheet combines nanoporous graphene and biphenylene stripes, offering controlled ...

Scientists have directly observed solar neutrinos transforming carbon into nitrogen underground, confirming long-predicted ...

Carbon is known for its plentiful allotropes, such as the naturally existing graphite and diamond, as well as synthetic compounds like the "buckyball" fullerene and graphene. Due to its unique valency ...

After some 30 years of trying different approaches to make a predicted allotrope of carbon, chemists have finally done it with a little atomic manipulation. The result is a ring of 18 carbon atoms ...

A joint research team has developed a highly efficient photocatalyst that can convert carbon dioxide into the ...

Researchers have developed a technology that uses carbon monoxide, typically harmful to humans, to precisely control metal ...
