A complex form of carbon crucial for life on Earth has been spotted outside the solar system for the first time. Its presence helps show how the compounds needed for life could come from space. The ...

Researchers have found a new kind of a molecular material, built bottom-up with carbon atoms, that can link electron spin and light in a simpler, cheaper, and more flexible manner. This opens up ...

A team of international scientists has used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to detect a new carbon compound in space for the first time. Known as methyl cation (pronounced cat-eye-on) (CH3+), the ...

Geyser-like plumes spray out of the south polar region of Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, into space. Credit: ESA / Science Office illustration A moon of Saturn has a surprising variety of carbon-based ...

Carbynes, or long linear carbon chains (LLCCs), have received significant attention in recent years due to their predicted exceptional properties. However, experimentally, their properties have been ...

Many of the most interesting bodies in our Solar System aren’t planets, but the moons that orbit them. They have active volcanoes, hydrocarbon oceans, geysers, and moon-wide oceans buried under icy ...

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 team of chemists from the University of Vienna, led by Nuno Maulide, has achieved a significant breakthrough in the field of chemical synthesis, developing a novel method for manipulating ...

Scientific textbooks are going to need a rewrite after U.S. researchers broke a fundamental rule of chemistry, tearing up "one hundred years of conventional wisdom." The team from the University of ...
