Australia-based semiconductor company Archer Materials has developed an advanced carbon film that can boost the production of quantum materials. The electron spin of these films lasts for 400 ...

Katherine Bourzac is a freelance journalist in San Francisco, California. For a little more than a century, chemists have known that strong atomic links called covalent bonds are formed when atoms ...

Chemists at Hokkaido University have experimentally confirmed the existence of a single-electron carbon-carbon bond for the first time (Nature 2024, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-07965-1). Linus Pauling ...

A pair of carbon nanotube arrays will be flying in space by the end of the year to test technology that could provide more efficient micro-propulsion for future spacecraft.

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Scientists have set up and observed a single electron bond between two carbon ...

Novel approaches in solar energy conversion and storage require theories capable of describing electronic systems, sometimes strongly interacting, in a dissipative condensed phase environment. In ...

Scientists are one step closer to building a carbon-recycling system that can harvest solar energy to efficiently convert CO2 and water into liquid fuels. By optimizing many parts of the system, the ...
