Researchers created an environment in a microwave oven to successfully convert raw coal powder into nano-graphite, which is used as a lubricant and in items ranging from fire extinguishers to lithium ...

An international team of researchers demonstrated that pulverized coal powder can be converted into high-value nano-graphite in just 15 minutes. In a microwave oven, sparks are generated inside a ...

Moving on from what I'm discussing in this thread a web page I've found talks about using graphite powder to lubricate fans. They say that it can be purchase from auto or hardware stores, but so far I ...

"Rock-chair" Li-ion battery (LIB) was discovered in the late 1970s and commercialized in 1991 by Sony, which has become the priority way we store portable energy today. To honor the contribution for ...

Synthesized graphene can be made by mixing water, detergents, and solvents with graphite powder at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. This method was developed by Jonathan N. Coleman, a ...

In a microwave oven, sparks are generated inside a glass vial containing coal powder and copper foil as part of an experiment by UW researchers. They successfully converted the coal powder to ...
