• Teamwork in a molecule
  

  Chemists at Friedrich Schiller University Jena have demonstrated the value of “teamwork” by successfully harnessing the interaction between two gallium atoms in a novel compound to split the particularly strong bond between fluorine and carbon. The gallium compound is also cheaper and more environme more

• Carbyne – an unusual form of carbon
  

  Which photophysical properties does carbyne have? This was the subject of research carried out by scientists at FAU, the University of Alberta, Canada, and the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland, which has led to a greater understanding of the properties of this unusual form of more

• Improving high-energy lithium-ion batteries with carbon filler
  

  Lithium-ion batteries are the major rechargeable power source for many portable devices as well as electric vehicles, but their use is limited, because they do not provide high power output while simultaneously allowing reversible energy storage. Research reported in Applied Physics Reviews, by AIP 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
