Anyone who has written with a pencil may have unwittingly made a few traces of a promising new nanomaterial. Among the thick smears of graphite deposited when a pencil rubs along paper are probably ...

Scientists have developed high-strength, super-tough sheets of carbon that can be inexpensively fabricated at low temperatures. The team made the sheets by chemically stitching together platelets of ...

Graphite, a crystalline form of carbon, is an element mineral composed of carbon alone. Because it effectively diffract or transmit radiations such as x-rays, it is used as optical elements of ...

Nanomaterials researchers have created a color atlas for 466 unique varieties of single-walled carbon nanotubes. Nanomaterials researchers in Finland, the United States and China have created a colour ...

When oxygen atoms bind to a graphite surface, they fall into line and make bridges across carbon atoms. This is the spearhead of a chemical attack in which the atomic arrangement of solid carbon is ...

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for batteries thanks to the development of eco-friendly and electronically driven vehicles, and the growing usage of mobile phones, tablets and ...
