Researchers from Rice University have optimized a process to convert waste rubber from old tires into graphene. That graphene can then be used to strengthen concrete. Research chemist James Tour says ...

image: Natural graphite, used as the precursor for graphene oxide production, is a highly ordered crystalline inorganic material, which is believed to be formed by decay of organic matter. It is ...

Please tell us a bit about Asbury. Asbury was founded in 1895, at the height of the Industrial Revolution in America when Harry M. Riddle leased a grist mill from a relative in the town of Asbury, New ...

Researchers have discovered the quantum Hall effect in bulk graphite -- a layered crystal consisting of stacked graphene layers. Researchers at The University of Manchester in the UK, led by Dr Artem ...

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 ...

A symbol of education is the humble pencil—a simple column of graphite enclosed in wood. Today, graphite holds the key to many problems we face today related to graphene. Recent vital developments ...

Researchers at The University of Manchester in the UK, led by Dr Artem Mishchenko, Prof Volodya Fal'ko and Prof Andre Geim, have discovered the quantum Hall effect in bulk graphite - a layered crystal ...
