(Nanowerk News) High-quality graphite has excellent mechanical strength, thermal stability, high flexibility and very high in-plane thermal and electric conductivities and, thus, is one of most ...

Superconductivity and magnetism have long been treated as rivals in condensed matter physics, one thriving on perfect ...

Researchers have unexpectedly discovered a new way to make crystalline graphite, an essential material used in the making of lithium ion batteries. Curtin University researchers have unexpectedly ...

Regardless of the cathode chemistry, be it LFP or NCM-based, the majority of commercial batteries rely on graphite as their primary anode material. Battery-grade graphite can be sourced either ...

Plastic waste, particularly LDPE, remains a major environmental concern due to its widespread use and low recycling rates, currently estimated at around 4 % globally. LDPE is commonly found in ...

Shock waves, characterised by rapid pressure, temperature and density changes, have been demonstrated to profoundly influence the properties of crystalline materials. These transient disturbances can ...

(Nanowerk News) Ice surfaces have a thin layer of water below its melting temperature of 0 °C. Such premelting phenomenon is important for skating and snowflake growth. Similarly, liquid often ...

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 ...
