The film discusses the significance of carbon, highlighting its presence in 90% of known compounds and its various forms, such as diamond and graphite. It explains the atomic structure of carbon ...

Carbon comes in many different structures, most famously graphite and diamond. Other forms were predicted to exist at extremely high pressures, but now researchers have examined carbon under the ...

A newly developed diamond carbon-14 battery might run for thousands of years. ... The diamond's structure would also contain the radiation from the decay, ...

The inner space of carbon nanotubes can act as a template for the synthesis of nanodiamond-like ... Polymerization of carbon cage structures to linear diamond-like structures inside carbon nanotubes.

Although the team probed carbon structures at unprecedented pressures of around 2,000 gigapascals (about 5 times the pressure found at Earth’s core), the crystal structure remained in a diamond ...

British researchers have developed diamond batteries that use carbon-14 to generate microwatts' worth of power for up to ...

Each carbon atom is attached to four other carbon atoms 1.544 x 10-10 meter away with a C-C-C bond angle of 109.5 degrees. It is a strong, rigid three-dimensional structure that results in an ...

We explore how far carbon structures are from revolutionizing the world. ... In fact, diamond is the strongest substance known and is often used in really intense drill bits.

The creation of a diamond-like nanomaterial is a first, marking a breakthrough after a century of unsuccessful attempts to compress carbon-based molecules into a structure with such strength.

Researchers have discovered a new form of carbon structure, called Q-carbon, that’s harder than diamond and allows artificial versions of the precious stone to be made at room temperature and ...
