Researchers at the u.S. Department of energy's (doe) argonne national laboratory are combining nanodiamonds with two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide layers and...
NASA eyes highly versatile carbon-nanotube technology for different spaceflight applications
May 11, 2018 (SPX)
In the most recent application of the carbon-nanotube coating, optical engineer John Hagopian, a contractor at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, ...
Scientists make strong, super-tough carbon sheets at low temperature
May 10, 2018 (SPX)
The team made the sheets by chemically stitching together platelets of graphitic carbon, which is similar to the graphite found in the soft lead of an ordinary ...
Nanodiamond turns into controllable light source
May 03, 2018 (SPX)
One of the key areas of modern nanophotonics is the design of active dielectric nanoantennas or controlled photonic sources. As a base for nanoantennas scientis...

Applied physicists at Cornell University have demonstrated a technique for engineering some of the key optical properties of those defects, providing a new tool...
How to bend and stretch a diamond
Apr 30, 2018 (SPX)
The surprising finding is being reported this week in the journal Science, in a paper by senior author Ming Dao, a principal research scientist in MIT's Departm...
Deep water aquifer acts like natural bio-reactor allowing microbes to consume carbon
Apr 25, 2018 (SPX)
In the deep ocean, though, all carbon is not created equal. While some, like sugars and proteins, is quickly gobbled up by the micro-organisms that call the oce...
Scientists create innovative new 'green' concrete using graphene
Apr 24, 2018 (SPX)
