Craig Arnold, a mechanical and aerospace engineering professor at Princeton and vice dean of innovation, utilized egg whites to develop an aerogel, a lightweight and porous material that may beContinue Reading
Theion, a German battery firm, is promising a new sulfur battery technology that may enable common electric cars to go 900 miles (1448 Kms) on a single charge. Sulfur isContinue Reading
Graphene is a one-atom-thick carbon lattice that is extremely conductive. Pure graphene batteries are currently prohibitively expensive to mass-produce, but when bonded to an electrode in composite form, the materialContinue Reading
Graphene, which is a material made of a one-atom-thick layer of carbon, is a bit of a buzzy darling in the material sciences community, to the point that it’s nearlyContinue Reading
Graphene was first isolated in 2004 by researchers at The University of Manchester,UK. It is often refereed to as a “supermaterial” due to its properties. Graphene is only a singleContinue Reading
Graphene, a recently discovered wonder material, is increasingly sought after for its superior electrical, thermal, optical and mechanical properties. It finds use in the manufacture of optoelectronic devices such asContinue Reading
Scientists first isolated graphene — a transparent layer of carbon just one atom thick — in 2004. Almost immediately, we began hearing about all the wondrous ways the material could transform ourContinue Reading
The growing popularity of digital devices has spurred the need for integrated circuits that are light weight, consume ultra-low power and are highly efficient. Technology companies are increasingly focusing onContinue Reading
