Discovery of New Form of Carbon, Called Long-range Ordered Porous Carbon (LOPC)

The new form of carbon is formed by heating fullerenes with lithium nitride (Li3N).

Their findings have been published in the January 2023 issue of Nature.

Discovery of New Form of Carbon, Called Long-range Ordered Porous Carbon (LOPC)

The most well-known forms of carbon include graphite and diamond, but there are other more exotic nanoscale allotropes of carbon as well. These include graphene and fullerenes, which are sp2 hybridized carbon with zero (flat-shaped) or posi... Read More

New Study Reveals Tuning the Surface Gives Variations to Metal Foils

Their findings have been published in Nature (IF 43.070) on May 28, 2020.

A4 paper-sized single-crystal metal foils with various surface structures are obtained by seeded annealing.

New Study Reveals Tuning the Surface Gives Variations to Metal Foils

Just as cloning in biology allows for the creation of one or more replicas of the exact same genes, seeded growth in chemistry can produce a very large metal foil with the exact same surface texture as that of a seeded one. Seeded growth is... Read More
