11 basketball courts in 1 teaspoon: this new material, borne from the space age, could hold the key to next-generation batteries and ultra small power cells
Researchers create a form of carbon with an incredible surface area
This could allow the material to trap more substance including various chemicals
Hypergolics are widely use in jet propulsion
Researchers at Cornell University have developed a nanoporous carbon material with the highest surface area ever reported.
The breakthrough uses a chemical reaction akin to rocket fuel ignition and could be used to improve carbon-dioxide capture and energy storage technologies, potentially advancing the next generation of batteries.
