Where diamond has a regular crystal structure, graphene (or at least the Platonic ideal of graphene) is a flat, single-atom-thick sheet of six-sided carbon rings. The hexagonal rings of six carbon ...

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 ...

The team fed tobacco cutworm larvae ( Spodoptera litura) a rigid belt-like nanocarbon called [6]MCPP, topped up with boiled ...

Astronomers have theorized that the nebula is ring-shaped or has a soap bubble structure, but the model created from the SMA data revealed it is an ellipsoid. The SMA data pinpoint the velocities and ...

The team developed stable 3D ring structures to replace flat aromatic rings. The synthesis involves inserting nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon atoms into bicyclobutane. These new structures could enhance ...

Last month was the second-warmest September ever registered globally in an exceptional year "almost certain" to become the hottest on record, the EU climate monitor Copernicus said on Tuesday.
