By Peter Zwick / CNNBy Peter Znecky / CNNIn the near future, scientists could be using graphene aerospheres as a flexible, flexible, and flexible-enough alternative to carbon nanotubes in manufacturing.
They could also be developing a more efficient method for producing graphene aerocapacitors, and eventually building them into consumer products, including cars, laptops, and even wearable electronics.
The technology, which is described in a recent paper in Nature, uses graphene, an insulating, thin sheet of carbon, as an insulator.
When an electron, or photon, interacts with it, it converts the carbon into an electrical current.
The electrons are then captured and stored as a carbon nanofibrous (CNT) material, which has a number of applications in electronics, electronics manufacturing, and biomedical research.
But graphene aeromaterials are also used in other ways.
They have applications in lightweight materials, such as polyethylene, polystyrene, and polypropylene, as well as in electronics and solar cells.
Graphene aeromimetics is a relatively new field in physics, and its scientific breakthroughs are not expected to be commonplace for a long time.
However, the scientists in this paper are able to use graphene aerostructures as a new source of carbon nanomaterial, according to their work.
Gaps in graphene sheets can cause problems when they are stretched.
This is especially problematic when they have been stretched to a diameter of 10 nanometers, which makes it difficult to produce an efficient electrical current through a graphene sheet.
Instead, the researchers used anaerobic bacteria to create a porous carbon aerogeling material, as described in the Nature paper.
The researchers then coated graphene sheets with graphene, and then placed them in a petri dish.
The bacteria then grew carbon nanots and other carbon particles inside the aerogels.
The carbon particles are then removed, and the carbon nanospheres are allowed to grow on the graphene sheets.
The researchers found that the carbon particles grew in a way that prevented any damage to the graphene sheet when they were exposed to high temperatures.
The aerogeled sheets could withstand temperatures up to 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit, which made them suitable for flexible electronics.
While this is an interesting new use of graphene aeros, the main goal of this research was to demonstrate the efficiency of graphene for high-performance electronic applications, according the researchers.
In the future, the authors also plan to develop an alternative process for producing the aeroplanes for use in wearable electronics, which would be easier to produce and more environmentally friendly.
