Carbon fiber helmets look premium and cost more. When shopping for one, it's important to consider certification, fit, and ...

To make large sheets of carbon available for light collection, chemists have devised an unusual solution -- attach what amounts to a 3-D bramble patch to each side of the carbon sheet. Using that ...

Such a perfected carbon nanotube sail would take fibers that were meters in length and not millimeters. However, the progress with large sheets of carbon nanotubes combined with being able to scale up ...

Nanomaterials researchers have created a color atlas for 466 unique varieties of single-walled carbon nanotubes.

Two-dimensional sheets of carbon atoms could be used to cool computer chips faster than any other material used in electronics today. That is the view of researchers in the US and France, who have ...

Multiwall carbon nanotube sheets have been made with a mass of ~27 milligrams per square metre and about the strength of kevlar. Adam Crowl of Crowlspace examines this a bit more. Nextbigfuture ...

The author Robert Caro still makes a carbon of every sheet he types. He’s one of a select few customers for the once-ubiquitous office staple.
