Researchers characterized two moisture-swing polymers for direct air capture, finding that macropore structure governs CO2 sorption capacity and kinetics. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have identified ...

Over the past century, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased dramatically. This rise has contributed to global warming and led to many harmful effects, including shifting ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously considered unusable, ...

After decades of debate, researchers say that they have found the clearest evidence yet for this rare form of carbon.

Diamonds are famous for their strength, but scientists have long suspected that another form of diamond might be even harder. Evidence of this was gathered over the past sixty years in meteorite ...

To misquote a famous song, "Diamonds are industry's best friend." Cubic diamond is the hardest mineral on Earth and is used in everything from precision cutting tools to high-performance ...

Virtual apertures let researchers isolate and solve atomic structures from individual nanocrystals embedded in dense clusters, providing valuable new data for energy and pharmaceutical applications.

The diamond was around 0.04 inches in size and exhibited more sturdiness and resistance compared to typical cubic diamonds.
