Want to transfer your drawings onto another surface? How about use a found photograph or printed image in an artwork? Try using graphite transfer paper, a great tool for speeding up your art-making ...

Anyone who has written with a pencil may have unwittingly made a few traces of a promising new nanomaterial. Among the thick smears of graphite deposited when a pencil rubs along paper are probably ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. If you’ve spent any time trying to manage heat in electronic devices, you may already know about the pyrolytic graphite ...

Graphite, a crystalline form of carbon, is an element mineral composed of carbon alone. Because it effectively diffract or transmit radiations such as x-rays, it is used as optical elements of ...

Flow batteries are energy storing structures that store chemical energy as liquid electrolytes in tanks, and pump those liquids to a reaction site – a membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) – when ...

Researchers used Si swarf and ultrathin graphite sheets to fabricate Li-ion battery electrodes with high areal capacity and current density at a reduced cost. Increasing generation of Si swarf as ...

Sometime between 1500 and 1565 a large graphite deposit was discovered in Cumbria, England. Because the graphite was extremely pure and solid it could easily be sawed into sticks. The graphite was ...

When carbon fibres just won't do, but nanotubes are too expensive, where can cost-conscious materials scientists go to find a practical conductive composite? The answer could lie with graphene sheets.
