(Nanowerk Spotlight) How often have you crumpled a sheet of paper in frustration and thrown it into the bin without further thought? You'll be amazed to hear that researchers – inspired by a trash can ...

The paper ball-like graphene particles stack into a porous scaffold to suppress filament growth of lithium metal that degrades the battery. Lithium metal-based batteries have the potential to turn the ...

While working on his doctoral thesis at Harvard University over the last few years, Omer Gottesman spent a lot of time at his desk crumpling sheets of paper, especially when he was stuck. He would ...

With its high theoretical capacity and low electrochemical potential, Li would be the ideal anode for Li-ion batteries. However, practical use of the Li anode has been hindered by its tendency for ...

We've written a lot about the potential of using graphene in electronics and materials science, but there are challenges when it comes to producing and utilizing these one-atom-thick sheets of carbon ...

Lithium metal-based batteries have the potential to turn the battery industry upside down. With the theoretically ultra-high capacity of lithium metal used by itself, this new type of battery could ...
