For the first time, physicists in China have virtually eliminated the friction felt between two surfaces at scales visible to the naked eye. In demonstrating "structural superlubricity," the team, led ...

In some solid materials under specific conditions, mutual Coulomb interactions shape electrons into many-body correlated ...

(Nanowerk News) High-quality graphite has excellent mechanical strength, thermal stability, high flexibility and very high in-plane thermal and electric conductivities and, thus, is one of most ...

Shock waves, characterised by rapid pressure, temperature and density changes, have been demonstrated to profoundly influence the properties of crystalline materials. These transient disturbances can ...

Regardless of the cathode chemistry, be it LFP or NCM-based, the majority of commercial batteries rely on graphite as their primary anode material. Battery-grade graphite can be sourced either ...

A recent study has proposed a strategy to synthesize single-crystalline graphite films orders of magnitude large, up to inch scale. High-quality graphite has excellent mechanical strength, thermal ...
