FAU researchers make key break-through Graphene is one of the most promising new materials. However, researchers across the globe are still looking for a way to produce defect-free graphene... Read more
The smallest of electronics could one day have the ability to turn on and off at an atomic scale. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists have investigated a way to create linear c... Read more
When Orlando Rios first started analyzing samples of carbon fibers made from a woody plant polymer known as lignin, he noticed something unusual. The material’s microstructure — a mixt... Read more
New spongelike structure converts solar energy into steam. A new material structure developed at MIT generates steam by soaking up the sun. The structure — a layer of graphite flakes and an... Read more
