Duke researchers are devising new ways to engineer carbon-based semiconductors for electronics of the future DURHAM, N.C. -- It might look like a roll of chicken wire, but this tiny cylinder of carbon ...

Skoltech researchers have created a promising catalyst to speed up a chemical reaction producing clean hydrogen fuel from the ...

Some things are just self-evident. You need oxygen to live, deep-dish pizza is an Italian-themed casserole, drivers that block the fast lane are deserving of special scorn, and electric motors require ...

IBM Research has developed a new way of creating contacts for carbon nanotube that it claims will open "a pathway to dramatically faster, smaller and more powerful computer chips beyond the ...

Recurring stories and special news packages from C&EN. The chemical maker Huntsman adds a twist with a system based on floating-catalyst chemical vapor deposition that yields its carbon in the form of ...

Scientists have developed two new methods to create ordered carbon nanotube films with either a left- or right-handed chiral pattern. Chiral materials interact with light in very precise ways that are ...
