Scientists know iron oxide minerals store large amounts of carbon in soils, but lack a detailed, quantitative understanding of the specific chemical mechanisms that allow them to bind such a wide ...

Planar tetracoordinate carbon species subvert the long‐standing paradigm of tetrahedral carbon geometry, demonstrating that a carbon atom can be stabilised in a planar configuration with four ...

Boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen: these four elements can form chemical triple bonds with each other due to their similar electronic properties. Examples of this are the gas carbon monoxide, which ...

Recreation of Gomberg's experiments suggests that he may have made a hypovalent carbon species years before reporting their ...

NASA finds carbon molecules in ancient Martian lake, and scientists admit it is difficult to explain them without life.

A 3D rendering of a 48-carbon molecular ring threaded through three supporting cyclic molecules A supramolecular assembly keeps cyclo[48]carbon stable enough to analyze using a variety of ...

As a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, Mark Levin started sketching out ideas for how to do something no chemist had ever managed before: swapping one of the carbon atoms in ...

The research provides the most detailed look yet at the surface chemistry of ferrihydrite, an important type of iron oxide minerals. "Iron oxide minerals are important for controlling the long-term ...
