Some of the thinnest materials known to humankind -- MXene and MBene compounds -- may provide solutions to scientists in their quest to curb the effects of global warming. These substances are only a ...

A new method to capture carbon dioxide from the air has been developed at the University of Helsinki's chemistry department. The CO 2 captured by the compound can be released by heating the compound ...

Scientists detect a new carbon compound in space for the first time. Known as methyl cation (pronounced cat-eye-on) (CH3+), the molecule is important because it aids the formation of more complex ...

June 26 (UPI) --Researchers used the James Webb Space Telescope to identify the carbon compound methyl cation in a young star system for the first time. The molecule was discovered using data from a ...

A complex form of carbon crucial for life on Earth has been spotted outside the solar system for the first time. Its presence helps show how the compounds needed for life could come from space. The ...

A new method to capture carbon dioxide from the air has been developed at the University of Helsinki's chemistry department.

Cyclo[n]carbons have haunted University of Oxford chemistry professor Harry L. Anderson for about 30 years. His first project as a postdoctoral researcher, which he abandoned after deeming it too ...

Scientists didn’t understand how bacteria divide up carbon sources into different paths for energy or to build new materials. Professor Ludmilla Aristilde; Professor Niall Mangan; Postdoctoral ...

Atoms are like Lego bricks: Each little building block combines to make something more complicated — from molecules, to enzymes, to DNA. For the first time, astronomers have detected a crucial step in ...
