Graphite platform levitates with no need for external power source

Magnetic levitation is used to float everything from lightbulbs to trains, with varying levels of success, but usually it requires a power source. Now, scientists in Japan have developed a way to make a floating platform that requires no external power… Continue reading Graphite platform levitates with no need for external power source

Evidence For Graphite As A Room Temperature Superconductor

Little has to be said about why superconducting materials are so tantalizing, or what the benefits of an ambient pressure, room temperature material with superconducting properties would be. The main …read more Continue reading Evidence For Graphite As A Room Temperature Superconductor

Casting Metal With a Microwave and Vacuum Cleaner

Metalworking might conjure images of large furnaces powered by coal, wood, or electricity, with molten metal sloshing around and visible in its crucible. But metalworking from home doesn’t need to …read more Continue reading Casting Metal With a Microwave and Vacuum Cleaner

Mysterious folded diamonds traced back to ancient dwarf planet cataclysm

Australian scientists have discovered strangely folded diamonds in rare meteorite samples. In investigating how they came to form, the team found evidence that they were forged in a cataclysm on an ancient dwarf planet.Continue ReadingCategory: Materia… Continue reading Mysterious folded diamonds traced back to ancient dwarf planet cataclysm

Study finds ancient ocean life helped build the great mountain ranges

Scientists led by the University of Aberdeen have concluded that the great mountain ranges of the world produced by the collision of Earth’s tectonic plates reached their great heights thanks to lubricating graphite, which resulted from an abundance of… Continue reading Study finds ancient ocean life helped build the great mountain ranges

Ultra-thin graphite films soak up heat to keep smartphones cool

Making every micrometer count is a key consideration for designers and engineers working on modern smartphones, and a new material could free up some valuable space. Scientists have developed a nanometer-thick form of graphite that helps keep electroni… Continue reading Ultra-thin graphite films soak up heat to keep smartphones cool

Antimicrobial implant coating uses graphite to slice up bacteria

There’s always a risk that implanted medical devices will become colonized with bacteria, causing infections and sometimes even needing to be removed. Such complications could soon be less likely, though, thanks to a new graphite nanoplatelet coating.C… Continue reading Antimicrobial implant coating uses graphite to slice up bacteria
