redOrbit Staff & Wire Reports - Your Universe Online Chemists at MIT have created a customized, carbon nanotube lead that can be used to draw freehand electronic circuits using a conventional, mechanical pencil. A typical pencil lead is fashioned out of graphite -- a form of carbon made up of layers of graphene -- and a clay binder. Whenever a person writes with a graphite pencil, a mixture of tiny graphene flakes and clay are deposited on the paper, leaving behind a mark. In the...
April Flowers for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online A new study is challenging current models of long-term carbon storage in lakes and rivers by revealing that a significant amount of carbon released into the atmosphere from lakes and rivers in Southern Quebec, Canada is approximately 1,000 to 3,000 years old. Current models and previous studies have shown there to be a tight coupling between the terrestrial and aquatic environment. So tight, in fact, that they expect aquatic bacteria...
Carbon Belch Day will take place around the globe giving individuals the opportunity to voice their protest over the increasingly militant stance of the global warming community. Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) October 02, 2012 Carbon Belch Day will take place around the globe giving individuals the opportunity to voice their protest over the increasingly militant stance of the global warming community and their theories of man-made global warming and the dangers of the "carbon...
Less Costly Ways of Sequencing DNA Could Open New Possibilities for Disease Prevention Engineers at The University of Texas at Dallas have used advanced techniques to make the material graphene small enough to read DNA. Shrinking the size of a graphene pore to less than one nanometer – small enough to thread a DNA strand – opens the possibility of using graphene as a low-cost tool to sequence DNA. “Sequencing DNA at a very cheap cost would enable scientists and doctors to...

Ocean acidification is the name that was given to the ongoing decrease in the pH of Earth’s oceans, a cause of the uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. About 30 to 40 percent of the carbon dioxide that is released by humans into the atmosphere dissolves into the lakes, oceans, and rivers. To maintain the chemical equilibrium, some of it reacts with the water to create carbonic acid. Some of these extra carbonic acid molecules react with a water molecule to provide a...
Graphite (named by Abraham Gottlob Werner in 1789, from the Greek γÏαφειν: "to draw/write", for its use in pencils) is one of the allotropes of carbon. Unlike diamond, graphite is a conductor, and can be used, for instance, as the material in the electrodes of an electrical arc lamp. Occurrence Associated minerals include: quartz, calcite, micas, iron meteorites and tourmalines. Notable occurrences include New York and Texas in the USA, Russia, Mexico, Greenland,...
