Graphene consists of just one layer of carbon atoms; it's incredibly thin, strong, transparent and conductive -- and you can make it yourself ...

Mohamad Kabbani, a former graduate student of Rice materials scientist Pulickel Ajayan and lead author of the paper, demonstrated the environmentally friendly, scalable process can be done in minutes ...

How to make graphene Sellotape and sugar rub shoulders with high-temperature furnaces and low-pressure chambers in a rush to produce graphene, which aims to be the 21st century's successor to silicon ...

Graphene may be the supermaterial to rule them all—but it turns out you can make it at home. In your kitchen blender. Here’s how. A team of researchers from Trinity College Dublin in Ireland ...

Two independent teams have shown that it is possible to produce stable suspensions of single-layer graphene from graphite crystals using chemical techniques.

Supermaterial graphene is among the world's strongest, thinnest, and most flexible substances, and, according to a newly published scientific paper, it ...

Photogenic carbon The flash of a basic camera created graphene Researchers in the US have found that firing a camera flash at graphite oxide is enough to make graphene – atom-thick sheets of carbon ...

An expert in materials science and engineering has found that graphite oxide sheets -- which are used to make graphene, a hotly studied material that scientists believe could be used to produce ...

That drove me to investigate how we could get graphene from our graphite. The method we now use, electrochemical exfoliation, is usually employed to make graphene from very high-purity synthetic ...

A new low-cost process creates multigram quantities of high-quality graphene from virtually any carbon-based material. By making the 2-D carbon allotrope sustainably on a large scale, the method ...
