Prof. Wu HengAn's team from the University of Science and Technology of China has presented six representative phases of amorphous carbons based on large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations ...

The image shows an atomic-scale visualization of monolayer amorphous carbon's structure, displaying a network of irregularly arranged carbon atoms (shown by the red lattice lines) with varying bond ...

Diamond is well-known for being the hardest natural material on Earth, though synthetic forms have been developed that are even tougher – a feat that researchers have managed again, through a new ...

The methane pyrolysis start-up Graphitic Energy has commissioned a pilot plant in San Antonio, Texas, that can convert ...

Amorphous metals could also be used to help realize highly efficient motors that generate fewer carbon emissions. Also known as metallic glasses, amorphous metals have been used in electrical ...

Then, a series of SiOC@C ceramic nanospheres containing SiC/Si3N4, free carbon, and amorphous SiOC were successfully obtained through rational control of the heat-treatment temperature and atmosphere.

A new carbon material known as monolayer amorphous carbon (MAC) however, is both strong and tough. (Nanowerk News) Even the strongest crack under pressure, a problem materials scientists have long ...
