But what makes oxygen different from carbon? It is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom that is the defining feature of the atom. It's what makes one element different from another.

An international team of researchers, including scientists at Lawerence Livermore National Laboratory, has successfully measured the atomic structure of liquid carbon for the first time, according to ...

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 ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have developed a powerful method to look deep inside single-atom catalysts—materials where every ...

Hollow atoms are special atoms with multiple missing electrons in their inner shells, while their outer shells are still ...

Successful synthesis of stable one-dimensional ionic crystals composed of two atomic species and encapsulated in carbon nanotubes is now demonstrated.

By visualizing the atomic structure of graphene with electrons while occasionally kicking out atoms, the researchers could determine how fast carbon atoms on the surface must be moving to explain the ...

By putting a carbon atom in place of a core oxygen, chemists constructed an opioid that blocks pain with less respiratory ...

The technology succeeds in making visible information on the atomic-scale 3D structure of amorphous carbon, based on measured X-ray scattering data. By making available detailed information on the ...

A chemical bond between a superheavy element and a carbon atom has been established for the first time. This research opens new vistas for studying the effects of Einstein's relativity on the ...
