Gold has long stood apart from other metals. It does not rust like iron or tarnish like silver. Its shine endures across ...

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are tiny carbon-based nanomaterials that have attracted increasing attention as environmentally ...

Atomic defects can tune carbon quantum dots across UV to near-infrared light, guiding cleaner design of sensors, bioimaging ...

This schematic illustration shows how introducing different types of atomic-scale defects into carbon quantum dots (CQDs) can tune their optical behavior across a wide wavelength range. Vacancy ...

Gold’s pristine shine may depend on a hidden atomic rearrangement that makes oxygen reactions far harder, helping explain its ...

Researchers at The University of Manchester and Hebei University of Technology have identified how a new class of catalyst can break down lignin into useful chemical building blocks, offering a more ...

In the latest research, telescope observations of 3I/ATLAS examine its chemical structure and suggest that it took shape in a ...

When elements combine or join together new substances are formed. These substances are called compounds. This is shown in the diagram below There are millions of different compounds and all of them ...

Until now, it was generally believed that gold simply does not react with oxygen and therefore does not discolor. On May 21, ...

Push two metal plates together on Earth and nothing happens. Take those same plates into the vacuum of space and they can ...

Could atomically precise nanoclusters mimic the chemistry of particular atoms without their toxic or cost drawbacks? James ...
