Scientists have found a way to more than double the uptake ability of a chemical structure that can be used for scrubbing carbon dioxide from factory flues. Oregon State University scientists have ...

Despite its stability and abundance on Earth and in the wider Universe, carbon is an element for which little is known about the liquid state 1. This is mainly because carbon evaporates directly at ...

However, the same graphite structure fails when it comes to sodium or potassium. Their atoms are simply too big and interactions too complex to slide in and out of graphite's tightly packed layers.

Tulip trees have been around for millions of years, but a new analysis of their structure has revealed a previously unknown type of wood. The finding could explain why the trees are great at ...

There may be hidden layers to Earth’s core dictated by chemical composition. In A Nutshell Lab experiments suggest Earth’s ...
