Researchers in the Texas A&M University J. Mike Walker '66 Department of Mechanical Engineering have developed a new method ...

Researchers in Sweden report a green alternative to reduce reliance on mining graphite, the raw source behind the "wonder material" graphene. In the journal Small, researchers at KTH Royal Institute ...

Electrochemical exfoliation has emerged as a leading strategy for the scalable production of graphene and its derivatives. In this top-down approach, an electrical potential applied across a graphite ...

Liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) offers a versatile route to produce graphene nanosheets by dispersing bulk graphite in a liquid medium and applying mechanical energy to separate individual layers. Key ...

Vibrational motion causes graphite particles to fold at the edges, before splitting into thinner layered materials, peeling off the parent particle, and finally undergoing high strain rates in the ...

The ordinary graphite in pencil lead is proving to be surprisingly multifaceted at the microscale. In a study published in ...

Since its discovery in 2004, this single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb structure has demonstrated a remarkable combination of characteristics that set it apart from any other known ...

Researcher Richard Olsson, seen here in the lab holding two sources of graphene, a spool of carbon fiber and a piece of mined graphite. Researchers in Sweden report a green alternative to reduce ...
