Through the simulations, the team also revealed the molecular structures of liquid carbon as it crystallized into graphite and then, separately, as liquid carbon crystallized into diamond.

Rapid structural snapshots captured how graphite transforms into graphite oxide during electrochemical oxidation, revealing intermediate structures that appear and disappear over time.

Illustration showing a single triphenylphosphine molecule over graphite. “Delving into the complex world of molecular motion on graphite surfaces has been an exciting journey,” reveals Anton ...

Scientists have watched a molecule move across a graphite surface in unprecedented detail. It turns out this particular molecule moves like a Moon lander -- and the insights hold potential for ...

Meteorite diamonds, which could be 58% harder than ordinary diamonds, have finally been made in the lab. Scientists have ...
