Spreading crushed rocks on fields can absorb CO2 from the air – now chemists have devised a way to turbocharge this process ...

Where would carbon-based life be without carbon? There are 118 known chemical elements, but carbon is the fourth most ...

Rice researchers found that a carbon material known as monolayer amorphous carbon is eight times tougher than graphene.

Scientists at Stanford University developed carbon capture technique they say is more practical and cost-effective ...

Researchers have created a solar-powered reactor that collects CO2 by night and turns it into a useful gas by day.

Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds. Most organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, but they may ...

which deliver carbon-nitrogen fragments to organic molecules in a direct fashion, do exist. For instance, Du Bois recently developed rhodium nitrene C-H insertion chemistry for use in the ...

Scientists can estimate how long the organism has been dead by counting the remaining carbon-14 atoms. The technique was developed in the late 1940s at the University of Chicago by a team led by ...

The process of separating useful molecules from mixtures of other substances accounts for 15% of the nation's energy, emits 100 million tons of carbon dioxide and costs $4 billion annually. In a new ...

A novel carbon material called graphdiyne could help 1. Graphdiyne-supported chemical catalysts hold the world record for the highest efficiency of producing hydrogen from seawater. Their ...

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 ...
