News Carbon

• Atomic images reveal unusually many neighbors for some oxygen atoms
  

  The identification of new chemical bonds is crucial for the design of new material structures. A team led by Jani Kotakoski at the University of Vienna and Jannik Meyer at the University of Tübingen has found unexpected new configurations of oxygen and nitrogen in graphene. Direct images of the actu more

• Hard as a diamond?
  

  Superhard materials can slice, drill and polish other objects. They also hold potential for creating scratch-resistant coatings that could help keep expensive equipment safe from damage. Now, science is opening the door to the development of new materials with these seductive qualities. Researchers more

• Stickier than expected: Hydrogen binds to graphene in 10 femtoseconds
  

  Graphene is celebrated as an extraordinary material. It consists of pure carbon, only a single atomic layer thick. Nevertheless, it is extremely stable, strong, and even conductive. For electronics, however, graphene still has crucial disadvantages. It cannot be used as a semiconductor, since it has more

Sir Harry Kroto & Buckminsterfullerene

Over the weekend, the news of Sir Harry Kroto’s passing filtered slowly through the internet. Perhaps the best summary of his life and achievements was already written by Kroto himself, so here we take a brief look at his most acclaimed discovery: that of the amusingly named form of carbon, buckmins more

Graphene

You may not have been aware, but this week is Graphene Week 2015, which marks a yearly week-long conference at the University of Manchester based around the emerging science and technological applications of graphene. This seemed as good a time as any to take a look at graphene: what it is, why some more

Group 4 Elements

This latest infographic focuses on the Group 4 (Group 14 in IUPAC nomenclature) elements. One extra fact to add for the curious: although tin has the greatest number of stable isotopes, Xenon trumps it comprehensively if unstable isotopes are also included in the count, with well over 30 possible is more

• Unravelling the role of polyols with increasing carbon chain length and OH groups on phase transition behavior of PNIPAM

  In advance field of pharmaceutical, agricultural and biomedical research, thermoresponsive polymers (TRPs) are potential and candidates which shows their conformational transition at a particular temperature. The conformational transition in TRPs depends on their intermolecular interactions with co- more

• One-pot synthesis of highly fluorescent Fe2+-doped carbon dots for dual-emissive nanohybrid to detection of zinc ions and histidine

  Metal ions-doping is paid a little attention comparing with the nonmetallic-element doping to improve the fluorescence intensity of carbon dots (CDs). Herein, Fe2+-doped CDs was facilely synthesized at 80 °C instead of hydrothermal method for the first time. Fe2+ was confirmed to be the only definit more

• Sustainable synthesis of single crystalline sulphur-doped graphene quantum dots for bioimaging and beyond

  The forbearing race of biomedical applications has given peak momentum to iconic trendsetter graphene quantum dots (GQDs). GQDs are zero-dimensional fluorescent carbon-nanomaterials, entailing pronounced quantum confinement effect, abundant edge states, and functional groups. Despite its potential a more
