    Graphene, a 'Miracle Material', can convert heat into electricity

    Graphene, an allotrope of carbon, was first isolated at the University of Manchester in 2004 by Sir Andre Geim and Sir Kostya Novoselov. In 2010, they had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics for their discovery. Graphene’s most unique property is that it is just 1 atom thick, making it...

    Carbon nanowires produced from thin air

    Scientists in the US have discovered a method to take carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and make carbon nano fibres, a useful manufacturing material. Their solar-powered system runs a small current via a tank full of a hot, molten salt; the fluid absorbs atmospheric CO2 and tiny carbon...
