Twisted Graphene is Science’s Hottest New Topic

03.26.2019 09:31 AM

Atom-sized superconductors discovered with a simple angle adjustment. Just a year ago, scientists presented results that seemed almost too good to be true: Carbon sheets only a single atom thick, called graphene, took on a pair of important physical properties when they were twisted at just the right "magic" angle relative to one another.

India May Be The Answer To Trump's World Climate Pact Turnaround

From being the major worry for environmentalists to becoming their hope, India the fastest growing economy and major emitter of carbon is working on fixing the global issue.

Carbon Nanotubes Soon Become The Future Of Water Filtration, Perfect Alternative To Eliminate Toxins & Other Contaminants

03.30.2017 18:31 PM

Researchers from Rochester Institute of Technology are planning to manipulate Carbon Nanotube as a nest generation water filter media. As carbon nanotube dislikes water, so during filtration it would absorb all organic compounds and let the water go.
