Scientists have used the James Webb Space Telescope to detect a new carbon compound in space for the first time. The carbon compound is known as methyl cation, or CH3+. It is important because it aids ...

The term aromaticity is a basic, long-standing concept in chemistry that is well established for ring-shaped carbon compounds. Aromatic rings consisting solely of metal atoms were, however, heretofore ...

A common iron mineral hiding in soil turns out to be far better at trapping carbon than scientists realized. Its surface isn’t uniform — it’s a nanoscale patchwork of positive and negative charges ...

Some of the thinnest materials known to humankind -- MXene and MBene compounds -- may provide solutions to scientists in their quest to curb the effects of global warming. These substances are only a ...

June 26 (UPI) --Researchers used the James Webb Space Telescope to identify the carbon compound methyl cation in a young star system for the first time. The molecule was discovered using data from a ...

A UT San Antonio-led international research team has identified chitin, the primary organic component of modern crab shells and insect exoskeletons, in trilobite fossils more than 500 million years ...

Cyclo[n]carbons have haunted University of Oxford chemistry professor Harry L. Anderson for about 30 years. His first project as a postdoctoral researcher, which he abandoned after deeming it too ...

Traditional catalysts in the RWGS reaction are made from precious metals, including platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd) and gold (Au), limiting the cost efficiency of the reaction. Because of this, new ...

Turning waste carbon into useful products is a vital part of sustainable manufacturing. Recycling carbon dioxide creates carbon monoxide, which through electricity can be converted into energy-rich ...

Mihri Ozkan, a climate action professor in UCR’s Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the Bourns College of Engineering. Some of the thinnest materials known to mankind may provide ...
