However, Rutgers University researchers have developed an easy way to make transparent graphene ... can deposit a film of graphene–an atom-thick sheet of carbon–on almost any substrate ...

With six protons and eight neutrons, it tends to come apart. Every once in a while, a Carbon-14 atom will cough up an electron and electron anti-neutrino (a messy sub-atomic particle) and morph ...

Sheets of carbon just one atom thick could make effective transparent electrodes in certain types of photovoltaic cells. Sheets of carbon just one atom thick could make effective transparent ...

It is almost completely transparent, yet so dense that not even helium, the smallest gas atom, can pass through it. Carbon, the basis of all known life on earth, has surprised us once again.

Unsurprisingly, the effects of the atom bomb tests in the 1950s and 60s were felt all across the planet. The blasts doubled the amount of carbon-14 isotopes in the atmosphere, which were taken up ...

All radioactive atoms will eventually decay, or change, in some way. When a carbon-14 atom decays, one of its eight neutrons turns into a proton, emitting an electron (with a charge of -1 ...
