The graphite found in your favorite pencil could have instead been the diamond your mother always wears. What made the difference? Researchers are finding out.

In the new study, the researchers demonstrated that anodic polarization of graphite in an electrochemical cell induces the formation of likely oxidized graphene sheets that spontaneously self ...

A study conducted by researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil and the Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza" in Italy has synthesized fullerenes and hollow spherical graphene ...

The location of the boundary between the graphite and diamond-stable regions has very little direct experimental evidence at present.

Fullerenes modification by the addition of hydroxyl groups (fullerenols), can increase their solubility in water. Nanotubes are long, extremely thin, cylindrical carbon structures consisting of ...

Hexagonal diamond up to 60 per cent stronger than normal diamonds could be used to create super-tough drilling and cutting ...
