Twenty-five years on from the discovery of C 60, the outstanding properties and potential applications of the synthetic carbon allotropes — fullerenes, nanotubes and graphene — overwhelmingly ...

Carbon, one of the most versatile elements known, occurs in a multitude of allotropes that exhibit a wide array of physical and chemical properties. The diversity of carbon’s bonding—ranging from sp² ...

Some precision chemistry performed atop a slice of table salt has given researchers unprecedented views of a controversial form of carbon. Scientists at Oxford University and IBM have produced a ring ...

In this talk the many different allotropes of carbon will be explored, two of which have been the subject of fairly recent Nobel Prizes (Graphene in 2010 and Fullerenes in 1996) from synthesis to ...

Carbon is the fourth-most-abundant element in the universe and takes on a wide variety of forms, called allotropes, including diamond and graphite. Scientists have now discovered a new form of carbon, ...

There are many different carbon allotropes. Some are bulk materials, such as diamond or graphite, whereas others are nanostructures materials ­– such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene. All ...

Elemental carbon appears in many different forms, including diamond and graphite.Researchers have succeeded in developing a novel route for the bulk production of carbon chains composed of more than 6 ...

A 3D rendering of a 48-carbon molecular ring threaded through three supporting cyclic molecules A supramolecular assembly keeps cyclo[48]carbon stable enough to analyze using a variety of ...
