The new material -- inspired by a trash can full of crumpled-up papers -- is made by crumpling the graphene sheets into balls. A paper describing the findings was published Oct. 13 in the journal ...

Six years ago, Huang discovered crumpled graphene balls — novel ultrafine particles that resemble crumpled paper balls. He made the particles by atomizing a dispersion of graphene-based sheets into ...

Back in 2007, photographer Thomas Brown had an idea to make a paper ball look like a meteor. However, as he started showing his friends and colleagues his work, people were seeing everything but ...

About five years ago, Huang discovered crumpled graphene balls — a novel type of ultrafine particles that resemble crumpled paper balls. The particles are made by drying tiny water droplets with ...

Here we report an effective scaffold based on crumpled paper ball-like graphene particles. Since they do not aggregate, crumpled graphene balls can readily form a closely packed, continuous solid, ...

Graphene flakes can be crumpled into balls that resist compression and aggregation, according to work published in ACS Nano by a Northwestern University-led research team (DOI: 10.1021/nn203115u).

The solution lies in a scaffold made from crumpled graphene balls, which can stack with ease to form a porous scaffold, due to their paper ball-like shape. They not only prevent dendrite growth ...

(Nanowerk News) When an automobile’s engine is improperly lubricated, it can be a major hit to the pocketbook and the environment. For the average car, 15 percent of the fuel consumption is spent ...
