Carbon, one of the most versatile elements known, occurs in a multitude of allotropes that exhibit a wide array of physical and chemical properties. The diversity of carbon’s bonding—ranging from sp² ...

Researchers have taken a novel approach to studying the interaction between certain topological metamaterials and sound wave propagation. Diamond and graphite are two naturally occurring carbon ...

Pakistan holds significant potential in harnessing carbon allotropes to address climate change, promote renewable energy, enhance agriculture, and drive sustainable industrial growth. With abundant ...

There are many different carbon allotropes. Some are bulk materials, such as diamond or graphite, whereas others are nanostructures materials ­– such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene. All ...

Recent advances in computational and experimental methodologies have considerably deepened our understanding of the electronic properties and thermal stability of carbon-based systems. Carbon ...

Employees of the Samara Center for Theoretical Materials Science (SCTMS) of Samara Polytech together with scientists of Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU, China) generated low-energy carbon ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Carbon is the fourth-most-abundant element in the universe and, depending on the arrangements of carbon atoms, takes on a wide variety of forms, called allotropes. Carbon ...

Carbon is, all things considered, pretty great. Its position on the periodic table of elements — which symbolizes the amount of spare electrons it has, more or less — allows it to form an incredible ...

Carbon atoms can be combined in different configurations with widely varying properties. Graphite and diamond are the most familiar, while more exotic allotropes include graphene, with versatile ...

Last month we heard about a brand new solid form of carbon, separate to the graphite and diamond forms that we already know so well. Called Q-Carbon because of the way that it is created (carbon is ...

Diamond, one of the hardest known materials, could have a rival. A new form of carbon that is just as hard as the gemstone but as light as pencil graphite could theoretically be used for applications ...
