Asteroid impact made hail of carbon beads Bloomington, Ind. (UPI) May 5, 2008 A U.S.-led team of scientists says the asteroid impact thought to have killed the dinosaurs hit with such force that carbon deep in the Earth's crust liquefied.
The researchers said they believe the liquid carbon rocketed skyward and formed tiny airborne beads that blanketed the planet. The team of U.S., U.K., Italian and New Zealand researchers said those beads, known as carbon ... read more
Researchers Make History With All-Carbon Nanotube Radio Baltimore MD (SPX) Feb 05, 2008 Northrop Grumman and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have created the first fully-functional, all-carbon nanotube transistor radio, demonstrating that carbon nanotubes can be used as high-speed transistors, while consuming only one-thousandth the power required by current transistor technology. "Leading researchers have long theorized that carbon nanotube transistors possess ... more
