Researchers have architecturally designed plate-nanolattices – nanometer-sized carbon structures – that are stronger than diamonds as a ratio of strength to density. The team’s design has been shown ...

New findings have revealed that changes in ocean density have a significant impact on the rate at which marine plankton incorporate carbon into their shells. This has profound implications for carbon ...

Carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels will produce a 3 percent reduction in the density of Earth's outermost atmosphere by 2017, according to a team of scientists from the National ...

In a recent article published in the journal Carbon, researchers from Korea investigated the effects of microstructural evolution on the density of carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers. The density of CNTs is ...

Soil stores more carbon than Earth's atmosphere and plants combined, which makes the speed of soil carbon's decomposition an ...

Despite progress in energy storage technology, batteries still make up a significant part of the weight for devices such as laptops and even cars. Rather than focussing solely on the battery ...

Nikhil Gupta is an associate professor, and Steven Zeltmann is a student researcher, in the Composite Materials and Mechanics Laboratory of the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at New ...

There has been significant practical interest in the conductivity of CNTs. CNTs with particular combinations of M and N (structural parameters indicating how much the nanotube is twisted) can be ...

Cities with large population densities may have less carbon emissions per capita compared to suburban areas due to public transportation services and walking accessibility, Boston University ...

Impacts of climate change seen in both upper and lower atmospheres Carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels will produce a 3 percent reduction in the density of Earth’s outermost ...
