Three RIKEN physicists have discovered how tiny tubes of carbon spit out light that is more energetic than the light shone on them. This finding could help to exploit the process in applications such ...

Tungsten disulfide nanotubes (WS2-NTs), first discovered in 1992, have long captured the attention of researchers for their ...

Carbon nanotubes are one of the most promising materials of the future, boasting extraordinary strength, conductivity, and flexibility. This video explores how these nanometer-wide tubes could ...

Methanol, important for the manufacture of many everyday goods and for its green energy potential, may soon be produced ...

Using machine learning, a team of researchers in Canada has created ultrahigh-strength carbon nanolattices, resulting in a ...

Carbon nanotubes and fullerenes are allotropes of carbon characterized by a hollow structure and extraordinary thermal, electrical and mechanical properties. Spherical fullerenes are also called ...

These nanotubes are confined inside multiwalled carbon nanotubes and their diameter corresponds to that of a C 20 dodecahedron with a single carbon atom at each of its twenty apices. Unlike larger ...

Researchers have found that a two-dimensional carbon material is tougher than graphene and resists cracking—even the ...

Carbon markets are growing in significance. More and more experts are recognizing the importance of these markets in reaching global climate goals. Although they are widely recognized, this does ...

As an avid runner who loves racing, I’ve been testing the best carbon plate running shoes ever since the original Nike Vaporfly 4% launched. I’ve tried almost every super-shoe released since ...

The reality is that people can only focus on one thing at a time. If given the choice between you and a flashy PowerPoint slide, the slides will win every time. That’s bad news if you want your ...
