A research team has discovered an electrochemical method that allows highly selective para-position single-carbon insertion ...

Where would carbon-based life be without carbon? There are 118 known chemical elements, but carbon is the fourth most abundant and perhaps the most important to human life. Everywhere you look, ...

But they also wanted to find out how the nucleons (the protons and neutrons inside the nucleus of an atom) were arranged inside the nucleus of carbon-12.

One of the greatest revolutions in the field of pain medication was the isolation of morphine from the opium poppy in the ...

One class of catalysts, the single-atom catalysts, makes efficient use of the expensive metal by supporting it as isolated atoms on another cheap material. Until now, the structure of those ...

Physicists have obtained important new evidence showing that the structure of the carbon-12 nucleus – without which there would be no life here on Earth – resembles that of an equilateral triangle.

For instance, it is now known that in each atom of carbon-12, there is a set number of subatomic particles: six electrons, six protons, and six neutrons.

But we may have, as a higher ideal, the hope of explaining the qualities of steel in terms of the properties of the atoms of iron and carbon and other constituent elements, This division is far ...

Quick look After running simulations on the world's most powerful supercomputer, an international team of researchers has developed a theory for the nuclear structure and origin of carbon-12, the ...

An international team of researchers, including scientists at Lawerence Livermore National Laboratory, has successfully measured the atomic structure of liquid carbon for the first time, according to ...
