Valin Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Apr. 5 2022 Dr. Jim Tour, Professor of Chemistry at Rice University, gives a riveting tour of how waste products can be converted to graphene, an extremely valuable material with a host of useful applications—from medical applications to new strong and lightweight materials to an energy source for zero CO2 emissions. _____________________________________________ I just wish I understood 1/2 of what Dr. Tour said.

Valin Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share Posted March 24, 2023 Ma. 23 2023 Flash graphene is a process developed by Rice University professor James Tour and his team that can turn any carbon source into turbostratic graphene in a matter of milliseconds. The process involves heating carbon-containing materials to high temperatures for a short amount of time, which creates graphene flakes. The resulting graphene is low-cost, high-quality, and can be used for a variety of applications such as energy storage, water filtration, and electronics.
