Researchers have established the structure of a new form of carbon. The team used a novel computational method to demonstrate that the properties of what had previously been thought to be only a ...

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for batteries thanks to the development of eco-friendly and electronically driven vehicles, and the growing usage of mobile phones, tablets and ...

When oxygen atoms bind to a graphite surface, they fall into line and make bridges across carbon atoms. This is the spearhead of a chemical attack in which the atomic arrangement of solid carbon is ...

Carbon nanotubes are available in single-walled, double-walled and mutli-walled variants. You can best see the structure of a singled-walled carbon nanotube as the wrapper of a one-atom-thick layer of ...

As the world's appetite for carbon-based materials like graphite increases, Ohio University researchers presented evidence this week for a new carbon solid they named "amorphous graphite." Physicist ...

A pulsed thermal shock technique produces micron-thick flexible graphite films ten times faster than conventional methods without sacrificing crystalline quality or thermal performance.
