Researchers 'iron out' graphene's wrinkles
Apr 04, 2017 (SPX)
From an electron's point of view, graphene must be a hair-raising thrill ride. For years, scientists have observed that electrons can blitz through graphene at ...
'Pink Star' diamond fetches record $71.2 mn in Hong Kong
Apr 04, 2017 (AFP)
A giant diamond named the "Pink Star" broke the world record for a gemstone sold at auction when it fetched $71.2 million in Hong Kong on Tuesday. The 59.60-car...
Reusable carbon nanotubes could be the water filter of the future, says RIT study
Mar 31, 2017 (SPX)
A new class of carbon nanotubes could be the next-generation clean-up crew for toxic sludge and contaminated water, say researchers at Rochester Institute of Te...
Built from the bottom up, nanoribbons pave the way to 'on-off' states for graphene
Mar 31, 2017 (SPX)
A new way to grow narrow ribbons of graphene, a lightweight and strong structure of single-atom-thick carbon atoms linked into hexagons, may address a shortcomi...
'Pink Star' diamond set to fetch record price in Hong Kong
Mar 29, 2017 (AFP)
A plum-sized pink diamond is expected to break the world record for a gemstone early next month when it goes under the hammer in Hong Kong, Sotheby's auction ho...
The world's largest diamond foil
Mar 27, 2017 (SPX)
Material researchers of Friedrich-Alexander Universitat Erlangen Nurnberg (FAU) have come a step closer to their goal of providing large diamond foils for pract...
Northern seas once pumped CO2 into Earth's atmosphere
Mar 27, 2017 (UPI)
Today, Earth's oceans absorb excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Research suggests in the past the opposite was true. In recent decades, scientists estim...
The carbon dioxide loop
Mar 17, 2017 (SPX)
The oceans are great at absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air, but when their deep waters are brought to the surface, the oceans themselves can be a sourc...
Graphene sheets capture cells efficiently
Mar 07, 2017 (SPX)
A single cell can contain a wealth of information about the health of an individual. Now, a new method developed at MIT and National Chiao Tung University could...
Czech scientists build non-metal magnet out of carbon
Mar 06, 2017 (UPI)
Scientists in the Czech Republic created magnetized carbon by treating graphene layers with non-metallic elements. Their invention, detailed in the journal Natu...
Iron dissolved by air pollution may increase ocean potential to trap carbon
Mar 03, 2017 (SPX)
Iron particles generated by cities and industry are being dissolved by man-made air pollution and washed into the sea - potentially increasing the amount of gre...
'Super-deep' diamonds may hold new information about Earth's interior
Mar 03, 2017 (SPX)
Researchers at Tohoku University believe that it is possible for natural diamonds to form at the base of the Earth's mantle. The formation of such "super-deep" ...
Three layers of graphene reveals a new kind of magnet
Feb 28, 2017 (SPX)
Metals have a large density of electrons and to be able to see the wave nature of electrons one has to make metallic wires that are only a few atoms wide. Howev...
