An international team of scientists led by Artem Oganov, head of the Computational Materials Discovery Lab at MIPT, has proven that technetium carbide does not exist—it was pure technetium that was wrongly identified as such. This is significant for the chemistry of transition metal carbides which are considered to be promising substances. The article was published in RSC Advances.
