Uncovering the secrets of friction on graphene
Nov 25, 2016 (SPX)
Graphene, a two-dimensional form of carbon in sheets just one atom in thick, has been the subject of widespread research, in large part because of its unique co...
Concrete jungle functions as carbon sink, UCI and other researchers find
Nov 22, 2016 (SPX)

Engineering a more efficient system for harnessing carbon dioxide
Nov 21, 2016 (SPX)
Despite the vast diversity of organisms on the planet that express enzymes for the conversion of carbon dioxide into such organic compounds as sugars - as plant...
Storing carbon dioxide underground by turning it into rock
Nov 21, 2016 (SPX)
In November, the Paris Climate Agreement goes into effect to reduce global carbon emissions. To achieve the set targets, experts say capturing and storing carbo...
Graphene plasmons reach the infrared
Nov 16, 2016 (SPX)
Graphene's unique properties can be both a blessing and a curse to researchers, especially to those at the intersection of optical and electronic applications. ...
Carbon capture necessary, IEA says
Nov 15, 2016 (UPI)
Momentum needs to build up behind carbon capture and storage technologies in order to put weight behind the Paris climate deal, the director of the IEA said. In...
Scientists probe underground depths of Earth's carbon cycle
Nov 14, 2016 (SPX)
Understanding how carbon dissolves in water at the molecular level under extreme conditions is critical to understanding the Earth's deep carbon cycle--a proces...
CO2 emissions level off, still too high to save climate: report
Nov 14, 2016 (AFP)
Carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels have been nearly flat for three years in a row -- a "great help" but not enough to stave off dangerous global warming...
Geologists find key indicator of carbon sources in Earth's mantle
Nov 11, 2016 (SPX)
Scientists have found a key indicator in determining whether the presence of carbon, found in the Earth's mantle, is derived from continental crust - a step tow...
How carbon gets absorbed deep underground
Nov 09, 2016 (UPI)
As scientists work to make climate change models more accurate, they must grapple with the myriad ways carbon gets absorbed and released by the planet's biologi...

On-chip observation of THz graphene plasmons
Nov 08, 2016 (SPX)
Researchers developed a technique for imaging THz photocurrents with nanoscale resolution, and applied it to visualize strongly compressed THz waves (plasmons) ...
Adding hydrogen to graphene
Nov 08, 2016 (SPX)
Adding hydrogen to graphene could improve its future applicability in the semiconductor industry, when silicon leaves off. Researchers at the Center for Multidi...
Diamond nanothread: Versatile new material could prove priceless for manufacturing
Nov 07, 2016 (SPX)
Would you dress in diamond nanothreads? It's not as far-fetched as you might think. And you'll have a Brisbane-based carbon chemist and engineer to thank for it...
