Through new improvements to existing AI models, researchers in China have created a framework that can methodically identify useful new forms of solid carbon. With their approach, Zhibin Gao and ...

The most well-known forms of carbon include graphite and diamond, but there are other more exotic nanoscale allotropes of carbon as well. These include graphene and fullerenes, which are sp2 ...

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, ...

A complex form of carbon crucial for life on Earth has been spotted outside the solar system for the first time. Its presence helps show how the compounds needed for life could come from space. The ...

Carbyne, a one-dimensional chain of carbon atoms, is incredibly strong for being so thin, making it an intriguing possibility for use in next-generation electronics, but its extreme instability made ...

Electron-beam cuts make twisted graphene rebuild itself into carbon nanotubes, arrays, and Y-junctions through controlled ...

Despite its stability and abundance on Earth and in the wider Universe, carbon is an element for which little is known about the liquid state 1. This is mainly because carbon evaporates directly at ...

Natural geological processes have been regulating Earth's climate for millions of years. Accelerated versions of these ...
