Graphene: Tiny Particles are Making a Big Impact on Batteries
2013-05-03 16:01:44| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Using silicon anodes in lithium-ion batteries allows them to achieve vastly greater energy storage capacity -- at least until they self-destruct. Now, one manufacturer has developed a cost-effective process for creating graphene platelets that can encase the silicon and stabilize the anode.

Graphene aerogel is seven times lighter than air, can balance on a blade of grass
2013-04-10 19:34:52| Extremetech
Chinese material scientists have created the world's lightest material: A graphene aerogel that is seven times lighter than air, and 12% lighter than the previous record holder (aerographite). A cubic centimeter of the graphene aerogel weighs just 0.16 milligrams -- or, if you're having a problem conceptualizing that, a cubic meter weighs just 160 grams (5.6 ounces). The graphene aerogel is so light that an cube inch of the stuff can be balanced on a blade of grass, the stamen of a flower, or the fluffy seed head of a dandelion (see pictures below).
