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 ...

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 ...

However, the same graphite structure fails when it comes to sodium or potassium. Their atoms are simply too big and interactions too complex to slide in and out of graphite's tightly packed layers.

Carbon fiber has reached a point of borderline oversaturation, even trickling down to borderline-affordably priced performance cars in recent years. But even if we’re not longer as impressed by the ...

Carbon nanobelts are a fascinating class of carbon nanomaterials characterized by their belt-like structure. Unlike carbon nanotubes, which have continuous cylindrical surfaces, carbon nanobelts ...

The image shows an atomic-scale visualization of monolayer amorphous carbon's structure, displaying a network of irregularly arranged carbon atoms (shown by the red lattice lines) with varying bond ...

The 90-tonne Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) machine has been custom-designed and built for Rocket Lab and is expected to save around 150,000 manufacturing hours in the Neutron rocket’s production ...
