A recent study has proposed a strategy to synthesize single-crystalline graphite films orders of magnitude large, up to inch scale. High-quality graphite has excellent mechanical strength, thermal ...

As the world's appetite for carbon-based materials like graphite increases, researchers presented evidence this week for a new carbon solid they named 'amorphous graphite.' As the world's appetite for ...

For decades, scientists have been probing the potential of two-dimensional materials to transform our world. 2D materials are only a single layer of atoms thick. Within them, subatomic particles like ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Research from Queen Mary University of London has found that bilayer graphene is much softer than multi-layered graphite. In the study, published in the journal Physical Review B ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers in the National Graphene Institute (NGI) at The University of Manchester have revisited one of the most ancient materials on Earth – graphite, and discovered new physics ...

A new method for synthesizing graphene based on nickel substrates shows promise for producing large areas of graphene films for highly conducting, transparent electrodes. Optically transparent ...

As the world's appetite for carbon-based materials like graphite increases, Ohio University researchers presented evidence this week for a new carbon solid they named "amorphous graphite." Physicist ...
