Cellulose Nanocrystals, a Potentially Green Alternative to Steel and Carbon Nanotubes
Every time cellulose was mentioned in one of your news pieces, it has always been about biofuels. Green algae digesting it and improving biogas...
Nanotech Stars – NIST Method Produces Graphene More Efficiently
Researchers have been finding numerous possible applications for the wonder-material called graphene, but mass-production has, so far, escaped them.
So far, graphene production in small...
Graphene Synthetic Fuel Catalyst Developed by University of Illinois at Chicago
Synthetic fuels can turn practically any vehicle carbon-neutral, since the vehicle would emit the same carbon dioxide that was used to make the fuel...
Could Graphene Rescue Lithium-Sulfur Battery Technology?
Theoretically-speaking, lithium-sulfur batteries could be vastly superior to current lithium-ion battery technology, except for a couple of debilitating problems. Recent research done...
MXenes: The Graphene-Like Material That Could Revolutionize Lithium-Ion Batteries
We've heard a lot about graphene, a single-layer hexagonal arrangement of carbon atoms, about which it has been said might revolutionize lithium-ion battery, water...
Plastic Shopping Bags Recycled into Nanomaterial
At the University of Adelaide in Australia, plastic shopping bags have become high-tech nanomaterial.
Researchers at the University of Adelaide's Nanotech Research Group have figured...
High-Performance Superconductors Developed, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Superconductors typically find their way into power generation and transmission applications, where losses are unacceptable or great amounts of current are needed to flow.
When...
Panasonic’s New Water Purification Technology Runs on Solar Power
Modern water purification methods exist that can easily get rid of water contaminants, even salt and bacteria, but some organic toxins and toxic metals,...
