A research team led by Professor Su-Il In of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at DGIST has uncovered the ...

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, ...

A new reagent has moved carbon-atom transfer out of the chemical flatlands, allowing chemists to place a single carbon atom so that it makes bonds to four different substituents. The reagent makes ...

To support an informed analysis of the possibilities for life in the cosmos, this chapter summarizes chemical concepts needed to evaluate the plausibility of a potential exotic life form and shows how ...

Sheets of carbon a single atom thick can be wrinkled to create functional microchips. This nano-origami technique could lead to smaller and faster computer processors. Manoj Tripathi at the University ...
