Graphite is a naturally occurring form of carbon composed of carbon atom layers stacked on top of each other. These layers are loosely bonded, allowing them to slide past one another and giving ...

Reshaping graphene from flat sheets into compact particles solves a key manufacturing problem, enabling printable conductive inks without the additives that weaken performance.

Graphene has long been hailed as a "wonder material." It is incredibly strong, highly conductive and almost impossibly thin—just one atom thick. These properties make it a promising candidate for next ...

A University of Washington-led team has discovered that, by stacking a sheet of graphene onto bulk graphite at a small twist angle (top), “exotic” properties present at the graphene-graphite interface ...

Graphene is already known for being incredibly strong, despite being just one atom thick. So how can it be made even stronger? By turning it into sheets of diamond, of course. Researchers in South ...

Graphene is actually a 3D material as well as a 2D material, according to a new study from Queen Mary University of London. Realising that it is a 3D material is important for understanding its ...
