A research team has successfully developed a technology that efficiently converts carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon monoxide (CO), an industrial raw material, by precisely controlling the interaction ...

BP has said it expects to report higher oil and gas production for the second quarter, after the energy giant renewed its ...

Ultrathin (<5 nm) hard carbon films are of great interest to the magnetic storage industry as the areal density approaches 100 Gb/in/sup 2/. These films are used as overcoats to protect the magnetic ...

The diamond-like carbon films were prepared by filtered cathodic vacuum arc system. Surface morphology and microstructure of the films were investigated by atomic force microscope and Raman spectrum.

Wear between drill pipe joints and casings can seriously affect the extraction efficiency of oil and gas resources, and diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have great prospects for reducing this wear by ...

Nanopatterned thin carbon films were prepared by direct and expeditious carbonization of the block copolymer polystyrene-block-poly(2-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P2VP) without the necessity of slow heating ...
