Laser shockwaves convert carbon nanotube films into multilayer graphene without external heating, boosting thermal ...

Steel is going green, and HEG sits at the center of this shift. As electric arc furnace capacity rises and energy storage expands, the company is betting on electrodes and clean-tech to power the ...

Sustainability and heavy manufacturing have long had a strained relationship, shaped by scale, cost pressures and the ...

Engineers at the University of New South Wales in Sydney have developed a method to convert discarded peanut shells into high-grade graphitic (graphene-like) carbon for potential use in batteries and ...

Nitrogen is introduced into synthetic diamond plates to create so-called NV centers (nitrogen vacancy centers, or nitrogen-substituted centers). The nitrogen atom knocks out the carbon atom, the ...

Traditional methods for making graphite involve heating premium needle coke and coal-tar pitch at temperatures above 3,000ºC in a process that requires several days of heating and cooling. A new ...

Deterioration of gray cast iron in which the metallic constituents are selectively leached or converted to corrosion products leaving the graphite intact. The term graphitization is commonly used to ...
