Scientists create innovative new ‘green’ concrete using graphene
Experts from the University of Exeter have developed a pioneering new technique that uses nanoengineering technology to incorporate graphene into traditional concrete production. The new composite material, which is more than twice…
Bendable Diamond – Diamond becomes Flexible when made into ultrafine Needles
Diamond is well-known as the strongest of all natural materials, and with that strength comes another tightly linked property: brittleness. But now, an international team of researchers from MIT, Hong Kong, Singapore,…
MIT develops a Manufacturing Process to produce Graphene Roll
MIT engineers have developed a continuous manufacturing process that produces long strips of high-quality graphene. The team’s results are the first demonstration of an industrial, scalable method for manufacturing high-quality graphene that…
Rice scientists create patterned graphene onto food, paper, cloth, cardboard
Rice University scientists who introduced laser-induced graphene (LIG) have enhanced their technique to produce what may become a new class of edible electronics. The Rice lab of chemist James Tour, which once…
