Researchers at the University of Wyoming were looking for new ways to use coal, especially coal from Wyoming’s Powder River Basin, as demand for the coal to generate electricity declines due to ...

A recent discovery in a study of room-temperature superconductivity, if borne out, could make the dream of super-efficient long-distance electricity transmission and levitating trains a little closer ...

Researchers created an environment in a microwave oven to successfully convert raw coal powder into nano-graphite, which is used as a lubricant and in items ranging from fire extinguishers to lithium ...

The conventional synthetic graphite approach, named for inventor Edward Goodrich Acheson in the 1890s, relies mostly on ...

Moving on from what I'm discussing in this thread a web page I've found talks about using graphite powder to lubricate fans. They say that it can be purchase from auto or hardware stores, but so far I ...

Graphene, everyone’s favorite nanomaterial, holds promise for many different fields. The problem is that a single layer of carbon atoms is difficult to mass-produce at high quality. But a paper ...

Phones with thinner designs are enjoying a moment. But while thin phones usually suffer poor battery life, batteries with ...
