New research shows how changing rainfall speeds up soil carbon loss and how biochar helps soil cope with stress.

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 ...

Carbon fibers consist of thin filaments (5–10 micrometers in diameter) made of long chains of carbon atoms arranged in a polycrystalline structure. These fibers contain 92–100 wt% anisotropic carbon ...

Tulip trees have been around for millions of years, but a new analysis of their structure has revealed a previously unknown type of wood. The finding could explain why the trees are great at ...

While graphite in pencil and diamonds in the Earth share the same element - carbon, they exhibit vastly different properties due to the different hybridization and arrangement of atoms. Scientists are ...

The chemistry of organic matter and life depends on carbon atoms. Its most prevalent isotope, carbon-12, has incredibly intricate mechanics. The energy and underlying structures of the nuclear states ...

Cobalt nanoparticle-decorated carbon materials are hybrid catalysts that combine the catalytic activity of cobalt with the structure and conductivity of carbon supports. These materials offer improved ...

There may be hidden layers to Earth’s core dictated by chemical composition. In A Nutshell Lab experiments suggest Earth’s ...

Carbon fiber is known for being incredibly strong, lightweight, and versatile—but how is it actually made? This article breaks down the key stages of carbon fiber manufacturing and shows how different ...
