Graphene on its way to conquer Silicon Valley
Jul 10, 2013 (SPX)
The unique properties of graphene such as its incredible strength and, at the same time, its little weight have raised high expectations in modern material scie...
An unlikely competitor for diamond as the best thermal conductor
Jul 10, 2013 (SPX)
An unlikely material, cubic boron arsenide, could deliver an extraordinarily high thermal conductivity - on par with the industry standard set by costly diamond...
Finding the Goldilocks sites to store CO2 underground
Jul 10, 2013 (SPX)
Carbon capture and storage has been heralded as a new technology for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In an effort to help slow climate change, human-produced...
Thin-film diamonds
Jul 09, 2013 (SPX)
A new method for creating thin films of diamonds, which is described in the journal Applied Physics Letters, produced by AIP Publishing, may allow manufacturers...
Eastern ecosystems good at storing carbon, USGS report says
Jun 26, 2013 (UPI)
Forests, wetlands and other ecosystems in the eastern United States naturally store close to 15 percent of the national emissions each year, a study finds. The ...
Dead, cold white dwarf star my be a diamond
Jun 24, 2013 (UPI)
A newly observed white dwarf star may be the coldest ever discovered. The dead star is so cold, in fact, astronomers believe its carbon has crystalized, making ...
Livermore develops the world's deepest ERT imaging system for CO2 sequestration
Jun 13, 2013 (SPX)
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers have broken the record for tracking the movement and concentration of carbon dioxide in a geologic formation ...
Moving Iron in Antarctica
Jun 13, 2013 (SPX)
The seas around Antarctica can, at times, resemble a garden. Large-scale experiments where scientists spray iron into the waters, literally fertilizing phytopla...
Questions rise about seeding for ocean C02 sequestration
Jun 13, 2013 (SPX)
A new study on the feeding habits of ocean microbes calls into question the potential use of algal blooms to trap carbon dioxide and offset rising global levels...
Even with defects, graphene is strongest material in the world
Jun 04, 2013 (SPX)
In a new study, published in Science May 31, 2013, Columbia Engineering researchers demonstrate that graphene, even if stitched together from many small crystal...
Climate: Carbon 'offsets' rise 4% in 2012
May 30, 2013 (AFP)
Trade in carbon offsets, a voluntary means of reducing one's footprint in global-warming gases, rose by four percent in volume terms last year as the market pri...
CO2 sequestration process produces supergreen hydrogen fuel, offsets ocean acidification
May 29, 2013 (SPX)
Lawrence Livermore scientists have discovered and demonstrated a new technique to remove and store atmospheric carbon dioxide while generating carbon-negative h...
Fast-sinking jellyfish could boost the oceans' uptake of carbon dioxide
May 29, 2013 (SPX)
The oceans absorb about 25 percent of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by human activities. Since the industrial revolution, they have taken up about half of th...
Diamonds, nanotubes find common ground in graphene
May 29, 2013 (SPX)
What may be the ultimate heat sink is only possible because of yet another astounding capability of graphene. The one-atom-thick form of carbon can act as a go-...
Catching graphene butterflies
May 17, 2013 (SPX)
Writing in Nature, a large international team led Dr Roman Gorbachev from The University of Manchester shows that, when graphene placed on top of insulating bor...
Graphene joins the race to redefine the ampere
May 16, 2013 (SPX)
A new joint innovation by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and the University of Cambridge could pave the way for redefining the ampere in terms of fundam...
NIST researchers propose new old way to purify carbon nanotubes
May 09, 2013 (SPX)
An old, somewhat passe, trick used to purify protein samples based on their affinity for water has found new fans at the National Institute of Standards and Tec...
Columbia engineers manipulate a buckyball by inserting a single water molecule
May 07, 2013 (SPX)
Columbia Engineering researchers have developed a technique to isolate a single water molecule inside a buckyball, or C60, and to drive motion of the so-called ...
Graphene's high-speed seesaw
May 03, 2013 (SPX)
Writing in Nature Communications, the researchers report the first graphene-based transistor with bistable characteristics, which means that the device can spon...
'Black carbon' flowing from soil to oceans
Apr 23, 2013 (SPX)
A smaller proportion of black carbon created during combustion will remain in soil than have been estimated before. Contrary to previous understanding, burying ...
