Graphene-Coated Solar Panels Convert Rain Into Energy

From 2010-15, the cost of installing solar panels, for both large-scale utilities as well as residential properties, dropped by over 50%. Further, solar generation prices fell in tandem with this trend, to as little as 3 cents per kilowatt-hour, leading experts to...
New Graphene Foam Supports 3,000 Times Its Own Weight

New Graphene Foam Supports 3,000 Times Its Own Weight

When you consider “foam,” it’s usually not for its incredible strength. But when graphene is involved, all the rules change. That’s certainly true of a newly developed graphene foam, developed at Rice University’s Department of Chemistry, anyway. For those unaware,...
