First time starting a thread, if not posting here, but been reading Ars for many years. I came across this article about a company that is promising a revolutionary battery tech using carbon-14 from ...

April 21 (UPI) --Scientists at the Queensland University of Technology in Australia have developed a new energy storage technology using tiny diamond threads. When the so-called diamond nanothread ...

Move over graphene, there’s a new kid in town and it’s poised to take your place as the world’s most promising supermaterial. Also made of carbon, the new material forms a one-dimensional diamond ...

Researchers made a breakthrough in the creation of diamond nanothreads. Led by Samuel Dunning and Timothy Strobel, researchers at Carnegie Science have developed a new technique to create diamond ...

Satisfying the energy needs of a growing population in a sustainable way calls for some inventive solutions, and ones not necessarily limited to the confines of battery chemistry. Solutions to storing ...

Scientists produce ultra-thin threads of carbon atoms they say should be stronger and stiffer than any existing man-made material. Space elevators, here we come. Nick Statt was a staff reporter for ...

Diamonds are supposedly a girl’s best friend, and soon they might be the best friend of any engineer looking for a material stronger than carbon nanotubes and graphene. A new microscopic structure, ...

Hardly a week goes by without somebody proclaiming a new application for graphene, the form of carbon that occurs in single sheets with chicken wire-like structure (see “Research Hints at Graphene’s ...
