In recent years, materials scientists experimenting with ceramics have started adding an oxidized form of graphene to the mix to produce ceramics that are tougher, more durable, and more resistant to ...

The properties of graphene open new opportunities for the fabrication of composites exhibiting unique structural and functional capabilities. However, to achieve this goal we should build materials ...

Car detailing technology has improved over the years. One of those improvements has been the creation of applying graphene as a paint sealant. Just as ceramic in the past provided paint protection ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A new featherweight, flame-resistant and super-elastic “metamaterial” has been shown to combine high strength with electrical conductivity and thermal insulation, suggesting ...

With the sheer number of grooming products available to consumers, there's never been a better time to get into detailing your car than it is now. Decades ago, the only way of protecting your car was ...

Physicists and materials scientists from Peter the Great St.Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) found out the structures in nanomaterials made of ceramic and graphene plates, in which cracks ...

An ultralight and superelastic metamaterial is prepared by combining two brittle components, graphene and alumina, through a simple bottom-up method. As Qiangqiang Zhang, Gary J. Cheng and colleagues ...

Replacing the graphite anode commonly used in lithium-ion batteries with ones made of silicon or graphene, which have high lithium uptake capacities, could substantially boost the batteries’ charge ...
