One of the most pressing challenges that the graphene industry faces is a lack of pure production of the material. A recent research report conducted by the Centre for Advanced 2 D Materials.
Like a bullet train speeding down the track, electrons whizz through graphene at velocities approaching the speed of light. This makes the material a promising successor to silicon in electronic and photonic devices.
Different carbon nanoparticle allotropes, be it graphite nanoplatelets or carbon nanotubes, are promising candidates as filler materials for polymer composites.
A team of researchers from Ukraine has tested a variety of steel compositions, produced through mechanical-pulse treatments (MPT), to produce alloys with nanocrystalline surface structures and improve their properties for use as wear resistance materials.
A research team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Department of Materials Science and Engineering has recently developed nanowire-coated fibers for optoelectronic probing of spinal cord circuits.
