Carbon thin films such as graphene are incredibly light yet immensely strong materials that have superb application potential but can be difficult to fabricate, often requiring labor- and time-intensive strategies that are expensive and not considered very environmentally friendly.
Hydroxyapatite (HA) and gold nanoparticles (AuNP) are attracting increasing attention in nano research as being serious contenders for widespread application in biomedical technologies.
Acidophilic Extremophiles may sound like the kind of creature conjured up by the mind of H.R. Giger, but in reality they are microorganisms that can live and thrive in acidic environments.
While Tesla’s least efficient vehicle is still more than 20% better than its nearest competitor, Panasonic has announced a prototype that could widen the gulf and fulfill Tesla’s future battery dreams.
Researchers at Luleå University of Technology in Sweden have demonstrated in the journal Applied Electronic Materials the high-performance electrochemical properties of biomass-derived graphene dots as a functional additive for green carbon aerogels.
