Researcher Richard Olsson, seen here in the lab holding two sources of graphene, a spool of carbon fiber and a piece of mined graphite. Researchers in Sweden report a green alternative to reduce ...

Researchers have developed a reproducible and scalable method for producing graphene oxide nanosheets from commercial carbon fibers, marking a breakthrough in sustainable nanomaterial synthesis.

Carbon dots are nanometer-scale carbon particles with photoluminescent properties, biocompatibility, and chemical stability. These characteristics support their use in areas such as bioimaging, drug ...

New material is self-assembling, long-lasting and recyclable. As electronic devices get smaller, the materials needed to create them get smaller as well. Nanoscience is the study of extremely small ...

Environmental pollution from industrial, agricultural, and domestic sources has introduced several contaminants—heavy metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, ...

What Are Low-Carbon Nanomaterials? Low-dimensional allotropes of carbon or low-carbon nanomaterials consist mainly or solely of carbon, possess extraordinary physical properties and can be ...

On August 2, 2023, the European Union (EU) Observatory for Nanomaterials (EUON) announced that it published a study that systematically reviews and assesses alternative methods for the testing of the ...

Carbon nanohorns (CNHs) are a unique type of carbon nanomaterial. A single CNH has a structure similar to a pudgy single-walled carbon nanotube with one end closed in a cone-shaped cap (horn). They ...
