The graphite found in your favorite pencil could have instead been the diamond your mother always wears. What made the ...

As embodied carbon becomes a major concern in construction, engineers are rethinking material choices, modeling tools, and ...

Hollow atoms are special atoms with multiple missing electrons in their inner shells, while their outer shells are still ...

Quantum sensors have become important tools in low-energy particle physics. Michael Doser explores opportunities to exploit ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have developed a powerful method to look deep inside single-atom catalysts—materials where every ...

Astronomers have turned the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) into a time machine to peer back in cosmic time to 1 billion years after the Big Bang.

Carbon, one of the most abundant elements in the universe, constitutes many key components of life and technology. Because of ...

Here we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of TbAQP2 from Trypanosoma brucei, bound to either the substrate glycerol or to the sleeping sickness drugs, pentamidine or ...

This approach revealed a complex fluid with a water-like structure and an average of four neighbouring atoms around each central carbon atom. The ‘melting line’ of diamond has been mapped by ...

A team of chemists at the University of Cambridge has developed a powerful new method for adding single carbon atoms to molecules more easily, offering a simple one-step approach that could ...

Electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2RR) is a promising process for reducing CO2 emissions and producing high-value chemicals. However, this process remains hindered by diffusion-limited mass ...

May 22, 2025 Structure of liquid carbon measured for the first time Researchers used laser compression to study liquid carbon for the first time, enabling insights into extreme states relevant to ...
