No time to make graphene via conventional routes? Then make it "in a flash." Northwestern University scientists have just demonstrated that graphite oxide can be converted instantly to graphene via ...

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 ...

Graphene has drawn attention as a scientific curiosity owing to its record conductivities, strength and thermal properties. But now, it's starting to make its way into a number of real-world ...

Graphene is the thinnest material yet known, composed of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. That structure gives it many unusual properties that hold great promise for ...

Experiments with identical replicas of Thomas Edison's original light bulbs shows the inventor may have accidentally created ...
