Do Investors Care About Carbon Risk?
This paper explores whether carbon emissions affect the cross-section of U.S. stock returns. We find that stocks of firms with higher total CO2 emissions (and changes in emissions) earn higher returns, after controlling for size, book-to-market, momentum,

Exploring the SDSS Dataset with Linked Scatter Plots: I. EMP, CEMP, and CV Stars [PDF]
We present the results of a search for extremely metal-poor (EMP), carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP), and cataclysmic variable (CV) stars using a new exploration tool based on linked scatter plots (LSPs).

Carbon···Carbon Weak Interactions
A theoretical study of the complexes formed by systems with electron-deficient and electron-excessive carbon atoms was carried out using DFT and ab initio methods up to the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ computational level. Stable complexes with interaction energies between -6.0 and -22.8 kJ mol(-1) were obtained that correspond to weak C...C interactions.
