Electricity markets are transforming from the dominance of conventional energy resources (CERs), e.g., fossil fuels, to low-carbon energy resources (LERs), e.g., renewables and energy storage. This work examines market mechanisms to incentivize LER i...
Without radical technological advancements, the global aviation industry will continue to be a major carbon emitter. To reduce aviation's carbon emissions, innovative aircraft technology, including electrified aircraft propulsion, is under developmen...
Stone-Wales transformation is a key mechanism responsible for growth, transformation, and fusion in fullerene, carbon nanotube and other carbon nanostructures. These topological defects also substantially alter the physical and chemical properties of...
The durability aspect is crucial for Roof in his way of conceiving the helmets. Their quality of manufacture makes it possible to guarantee the new helmets Roof, like the Roof RO200 S Carbon, …
Carbon fibers have several advantages: high stiffness, high tensile strength, high strength to weight ratio, high chemical resistance, high-temperature
We show that a multi-walled carbon nanotube film can be used as the sensing element of a low-cost sensor for the alcoholic concentration in liquid solutions. To this purpose, we investigate the electrical resistance of the film as a function of the i...
We apply our first-principles method to simulate the transient electrical response through carbon nanotube based conductors under time-dependent bias voltages, and report the dynamic conductance for a specific system. We find that the electrical re...
We envision an autonomous sorbent materials foundry (SMF) for rapidly evaluating materials for direct air capture of carbon dioxide (CO2), specifically targeting novel metal organic framework materials. Our proposed SMF is hierarchical, simultaneousl...
The natural cycles of the surface-to-atmosphere fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO$_2$) and other important greenhouse gases are changing in response to human influences. These changes need to be quantified to understand climate change and its impacts, but...
We present a mathematical framework to represent turbostratic disorder in materials like carbon blacks, smectites, and twisted $n$-layer graphene. In particular, the set of all possible disordered layers, including rotated, shifted, and curved layers...
Original carbon allotropes, orthorhombic C8, C10, C12 and C14 presenting mixed sp2 and sp3 carbon hybridizations exhibiting ethene like and propadiene like embedded units are proposed from crystal chemistry and calculations within the quantum density...
The transport sector is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. Shifting to electric vehicles (EVs) powered by a low-carbon energy mix would reduce carbon emissions. However, to support the development of electric mobility, a bette...
Cast iron is a class of iron–carbon alloys with a carbon content of more than 2% and silicon content around 1–3%. Its usefulness derives from its relatively

Boron-doped multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were synthesized using a methanol solution of boric acid as a source material. Accurate measurements of the electrical resistivity of an individual boron-doped MWNT was performed with a four-point c...
We study the collapsing and subsequent spontaneous twisting of a carbon nanotube by in-situ transmission electron microscopy. A custom-sized nanotube is first created in the microscope by selectively extracting shells from a parent multi-wall tube. T...
