A new method to capture carbon dioxide from the air has been developed at the University of Helsinki's chemistry department.

Some of the thinnest materials known to humankind -- MXene and MBene compounds -- may provide solutions to scientists in their quest to curb the effects of global warming. These substances are only a ...

Scientists have used the James Webb Space Telescope to detect a new carbon compound in space for the first time. The carbon compound is known as methyl cation, or CH3+. It is important because it aids ...

Scientists detect a new carbon compound in space for the first time. Known as methyl cation (pronounced cat-eye-on) (CH3+), the molecule is important because it aids the formation of more complex ...

Cyclo[n]carbons have haunted University of Oxford chemistry professor Harry L. Anderson for about 30 years. His first project as a postdoctoral researcher, which he abandoned after deeming it too ...

Scientists know iron oxide minerals store large amounts of carbon in soils, but lack a detailed, quantitative understanding of the specific chemical mechanisms that allow them to bind such a wide ...

June 26 (UPI) --Researchers used the James Webb Space Telescope to identify the carbon compound methyl cation in a young star system for the first time. The molecule was discovered using data from a ...

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 ...
