In a study led by Prof. Wei Xu (Interdisciplinary Materials Research Center, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Tongji University) and published in the journal National Science Review, a research team achieved the ...
Molecules with a central ring system play an important role in the search for active ingredients for new pharmaceutical products—and it is important that the rings should have the correct size if the desired product is ...
Which photophysical properties does carbyne have? This was the subject of research carried out by scientists at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), the University of Alberta, Canada, and the Ecole Polytechnique ...
Since Friedrich Wohler synthesized urea (by accident) back in 1828, chemical synthesis—and organic synthesis for that—has been a driving force in pharmaceutical innovation. Improving the lives of people worldwide, the ...
Scientists from Ural Federal University (UrFU) together with their colleagues from Lomonosov Moscow State University, have discovered a mathematical method to calculate the temperature at which single-walled carbon nanotubes ...
Hold on, there, graphene. You might think you're the most interesting new nanomaterial of the century, but boron might already have you beat, according to scientists at Rice University.
Elemental carbon appears in many forms, including diamond, fullerenes and graphene, which have unique structural, electronic, mechanical, transport and optical properties offering a broad range of applications in physics, ...
The smallest of electronics could one day have the ability to turn on and off on an atomic scale.
(Phys.org) —Applying just the right amount of tension to a chain of carbon atoms can turn it from a metallic conductor to an insulator, according to Rice University scientists.
(Phys.org) —Carbyne will be the strongest of a new class of microscopic materials if and when anyone can make it in bulk.
