Camera lens cleaning pens use fine carbon particles to help cleanly remove smudges from your glass. Do you know what else has carbon particles? Soot. Here's a short 2.5-minute video in which photographer Mathieu Stern shows how you can use ordinary candle soot to get the same cleaning power as popular lens pens.
The Hong Kong-based design brand Carbon has unveiled a new camera called the Escura Instant 60s. It's a retro-tastic instant camera that's 100% hand-powered, 100% manual, and 100% analog.
Let's be honest, the best part of High School Chemistry was definitely setting stuff on fire, which is probably why we enjoyed the latest "Beauty of Science" video so much. Following up on his stunning Crystalization timelapse, Yan Liang decided to capture combustion next.
Rhino Camera Gear is a manufacturer of professional sliders and stabilization rigs for videographers and photographers alike. This month, we got a chance to test out two of their latest products, the Rhino Slider EVO Carbon and Rhino Motion module. Combined, both pieces of equipment promise to create butter-smooth videos and time-lapse effects.
In an interesting development in the world of batteries, researchers have discovered and demonstrated a way to make extremely efficient carbon electrodes by heating up the fibers of hemp in a two-step method.
The resulting carbon electrodes hold as much energy as the super-material graphene, are more durable in extreme temperatures, and come at a much lower cost -- pretty much the ideal material to make batteries out of.
Hong Kong-based design group Carbon has created a novelty digital camera called the One Mini, which is designed to look just like a pocket-sized version of Polaroid's iconic SX-70 One Step instant camera.
