Researchers crush and press functionalized graphene to make strong, light graphite pellets that hold promise for electronic and catalytic applications. It's easy and economical to make shiny pellets ...

The unique properties of thin layers of graphite -- known as graphene -- make the material attractive for a wide range of potential electronic devices. Researchers have now experimentally demonstrated ...

Graphene has been referred to as the 21st-century "wonder" material due to its unique properties, two-dimensional structure and broad applications. However, one of the significant barriers to the ...

Graphite is a naturally occurring form of carbon composed of carbon atom layers stacked on top of each other. These layers are loosely bonded, allowing them to slide past one another and giving ...

Researchers in Sweden report a green alternative to reduce reliance on mining graphite, the raw source behind the "wonder ...

Ultrapure graphene is grown in labs under carefully controlled conditions, but Mark Thompson believes that exploiting the material’s properties on a large scale requires a different approach. Here, he ...

Carbon is among the most versatile elements, and two of its most remarkable forms - graphite and graphene - are transforming industries across the globe. Although they share the same fundamental ...
