MIT Team Uses Carbon Nanotubes to Draw Gas Sensors
A team of MIT chemists revealed how they developed a method for drawing gas sensors on paper using a tailor-made, super-conductive carbon nanotube pencil. The…
LCLS Low-Energy Test Just Shy of the 284-Electronvolt Carbon Edge
A recent low energy test with SLAC’s Linac Coherent Light Source proved that the X-ray laser could dip more deeply into the so-called “water window,”…
Meteorite Shows Existence of Reduced Carbon on Mars
Scientists from the Carnegie Institution for Science discovered that a 4.5 billion year old meteorite, which is believed to be from Mars, contains reduced carbon…
Fossil Fuel Emissions, Organic Carbon and Alaska’s Glaciers
While studying climate change and trying to decipher the carbon cycle puzzle, researchers have been studying the source and amount of carbon flowing into the…
Natural Gas Mining Could Leak Enough Methane, No Longer Considered as Clean
Natural gas, which is often perceived as a clean alternative to coal and oil, can be advantageous since it produces fewer greenhouse-gas emissions than other…
