Researchers show potential for coal-based graphene to replace sand in concrete
Rice University researchers have found that graphene derived from metallurgical coke, a coal-based product, could serve not only as a reinforcing additive in cement but also as a replacement for sand in concrete. "This could have a major impact on one of the...
Researchers add a ‘twist’ to classical material design
Researchers grew a twisted multilayer crystal structure for the first time and measured the structure's key properties. The twisted structure could help researchers develop next-generation materials for solar cells, quantum computers, lasers and other...
Coal-based product could replace sand in concrete
A new study found that graphene derived from metallurgical coke, a coal-based product, through flash Joule heating could serve not only as a reinforcing additive in cement but also as a replacement for sand in concrete.
Researchers use graphene electrodes to design neural implant capable of reading brain activity
University of California San Diego researchers have developed a neural implant capable of reading brain activity that could advance research into creating a brain-computer interface (BCI) without being overly invasive. The new implant consists of a thin transparent...
