The graphite found in your favorite pencil could have instead been the diamond your mother always wears. What made the difference? Researchers are finding out. How molten carbon crystallizes into ...

The energy transition's reliance on ultra-high-purity synthetic graphite for EV batteries and nuclear reactors creates a ...

Given the growing importance of graphite in energy storage technologies, a team of Northwestern researchers has conducted a study exploring ways to reduce reliance on imports of the in high-demand ...

Scientists have watched a molecule move across a graphite surface in unprecedented detail. It turns out this particular molecule moves like a Moon lander -- and the insights hold potential for future ...

Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:XOM) has invented a type of graphite that can extend the life of electric-vehicle batteries by as much as 30% ...

Natural graphite is not only mined and sold; it is engineered, refined and embedded into materials designed to meet increasingly demanding industrial specifications. Its high electrical and thermal ...

Researchers solved the stability issues of fullerene anodes, paving the way for lithium-ion batteries that charge faster and ...

The graphite-binding peptide and surface phenomena. The amino acid sequence of the dodecapeptide displays three chemically different domains and schematic representation of the possible surface ...

Sales of electric vehicles are growing strongly despite a certain unevenness in this growth across the globe. But overall, this growth is not strong enough to give battery researchers a break—work is ...

Molten carbon can crystallize into diamond or graphite, but it has been difficult to study this process. New simulations show that graphite can sometimes "hijack" the pathway that would lead to ...
