In this interactive activity adapted from NOVA, explore the prevalence of ringed-carbon structures in the natural world, as well as the structural variations that give rise to their unique chemical ...

The tetrahedral geometry of four-coordinate carbon atoms is a steadfast property of organic compounds. Nevertheless, chemists are still attracted to the possibility of twisting or squashing a ...

A new method to capture carbon dioxide from the air has been developed at the University of Helsinki's chemistry department.

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 ...

Discover how scientists developed a new compound that can efficiently absorb carbon dioxide directly from untreated ambient ...

WITHIN the brief compass of this work the author aims at introducing the student to some of the chief groups of the carbon compounds, as represented by familiar substances, and at the same time at ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new superbase compound captures 156 mg of CO2 per gram and releases it using low heat. Pulling carbon dioxide straight from thin air usually comes with a heavy energy price. A new compound developed ...

As global temperatures continue to rise, scientists are working to understand how warming affects the planet’s carbon cycle.

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 ...
