Scientists have found a way to more than double the uptake ability of a chemical structure that can be used for scrubbing carbon dioxide from factory flues. Oregon State University scientists have ...

A new microwave-assisted method creates nitrogen-doped ultramicroporous carbon from coal in minutes, dramatically cutting energy use while achieving high CO2 capture performance.

This month we feature chemicals that have important applications in industry and the lab.—Ed. Carbon monoxide (CO) is the simplest carbon oxide, an important industrial and laboratory chemical, and a ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a fast and energy efficient way to produce advanced carbon materials capable of capturing carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas driving climate change. The new method ...

Carbon's unique chemical properties allow it to be an essential building block for life on Earth and many other molecules we rely on for day-to-day life—but what about carbon's neighbor? Silicon is ...

A 3D rendering of a 48-carbon molecular ring threaded through three supporting cyclic molecules A supramolecular assembly keeps cyclo[48]carbon stable enough to analyze using a variety of ...

Researchers have found that most biochar fed to dairy cows survives the digestive process and remains highly stable, meaning it could be applied to fields through manure and act as a long-term carbon ...
