The world's lightest 3-D printed structure is so lightweight that it can be placed on top of a cotton ball or the petals of a flower. The record-breaking material is 3-D printed graphene aerogel and ...

The aerogel contains a unique nano–scaled core–sheath structure in ceramic aerogel featuring a nanofibrous core framework for ultra–flexible deformation and a nanoporous aerogel sheath for thermal ...

Graphene is a two-dimensional material that offers a unique combination of low density, exceptional mechanical properties, large surface area and excellent electrical conductivity. Recent progress has ...

‘Aerogel’ is a broad term used to talk about an extraordinary group of materials that have been used since the 1960s in space travel, but are now finding uses across a whole range of industries.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The ability to absorb and dissipate impact energy is crucial for protective materials in transportation and aerospace. Traditional materials face a fundamental limitation: they ...
