A recent discovery in a study of room-temperature superconductivity, if borne out, could make the dream of super-efficient long-distance electricity transmission and levitating trains a little closer ...

China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC), a state-owned enterprise, has developed a process that enables the mass production of graphite with a carbon content exceeding 99.99995%. “Our ...

In a microwave oven, sparks are generated inside a glass vial containing coal powder and copper foil as part of an experiment by UW researchers. They successfully converted the coal powder to ...

A button that stopped working has probably led to more than a few smashed remotes over the years. Fortunately [pescado99] has shared a beautifully simple cure for dead or dying remote buttons: ...

An international team of researchers demonstrated that pulverized coal powder can be converted into high-value nano-graphite in just 15 minutes. In a microwave oven, sparks are generated inside a ...

Researchers at the University of Wyoming were looking for new ways to use coal, especially coal from Wyoming’s Powder River Basin, as demand for the coal to generate electricity declines due to ...

Key drivers of the ultra-high-purity graphite market are the growing adoption of lithium-ion batteries in EV and energy storage, the rising demand from semiconductor and silicon processing industries, ...

A jar of graphite powder, a dry brush and an eraser serve as her tools. The paper, her canvas. As Melissa Cooke Benson dusts thin layers of graphite onto the surface, not a single pencil mark is used ...

Researchers created an environment in a microwave oven to successfully convert raw coal powder into nano-graphite, which is used as a lubricant and in items ranging from fire extinguishers to lithium ...

Moving on from what I'm discussing in this thread a web page I've found talks about using graphite powder to lubricate fans. They say that it can be purchase from auto or hardware stores, but so far I ...
