Graphene, an atomic-thick sheet of carbon has found immense applications in gas sensors due to its single-molecule sensitivity, low-noise levels, and high carrier density. However, graphene’s ...

All life on Earth is based on the element carbon, but scientists aren’t sure what initially supplied all that carbon to our Solar System. A new study using the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia ...

Scientists detect a new carbon compound in space for the first time. Known as methyl cation (pronounced cat-eye-on) (CH3+), the molecule is important because it aids the formation of more complex ...

A carbon-based ion—likely an important building block of interstellar carbon chemistry—was spotted in a protoplanetary disk 1,350 light-years away. Reading time 2 minutes The Webb Space Telescope ...

Researchers have demonstrated a switch, analogous to a transistor, made from a single molecule called fullerene. By using a carefully tuned laser pulse, the researchers are able to use fullerene to ...

Half a decade ago, chemist Mark Levin was a postdoc looking for a visionary project that could change his field. He found inspiration in a set of published wish lists from pharmaceutical-industry ...

Truncated icosahedron: technical term for a soccer ball in the United States, a football everywhere else. The scientists who vaporized the graphite to produce C 60 named the new carbon allotrope ...
