Soil color can be used as a simple, inexpensive method to predict measurements of soil organic content to assess soil quality and better understand global carbon cycles. According to Iowa State ...

An international study presents the first global assessment of blue carbon accumulated in the living parts of seagrass plants ...

A method can produce large quantities of pristine single-walled carbon nanotubes in select shades of the rainbow. The secret is a fine-tuned fabrication process -- and a small dose of carbon dioxide.

Fluorescent carbon nanoparticles known as carbon dots could be a low-cost, biologically friendly alternative to quantum dots for sensing chemicals inside cells. Until now, carbon dots typically have ...

When COVID-19 spread to the United States, the pandemic exposed two conflicting realities: a healthcare system that excels at high-cost, complex treatments while failing to provide sufficient access ...

The optical properties of carbon nanotube at visible wavelengths can be controlled electrically. Smart glass can change color or even go from opaque to transparent with just the flick of a switch.
