A new method to capture carbon dioxide from the air has been developed at the University of Helsinki's chemistry department. The CO 2 captured by the compound can be released by heating the compound ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists detect a new carbon compound in space for the first time. Known as methyl cation (pronounced cat-eye-on) (CH3+), the molecule is important because it aids the formation of more complex ...

The world as we know it has evolved through the transformation of natural elements repurposed for our daily lives. Among these elements, carbon and carbon dioxide (CO2) hold a significant place, ...

The arrangement of nitrogen atoms in the hexazine anion is similar to that of carbon atoms in benzene, an aromatic compound that is ubiquitous in nature. Although the term "aromatic" originally ...

Atoms are like Lego bricks: Each little building block combines to make something more complicated — from molecules, to enzymes, to DNA. For the first time, astronomers have detected a crucial step in ...

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 ...
