Scientists at UC Santa Cruz and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have reported the first example of ultrafast 3D-printed graphene supercapacitor electrodes that outperform comparable ...

Graphene has been very hot in scientific circles since it was first produced in 2004. This one-atom thick layer of carbon has been found to have such remarkable properties that its discoverers were ...

Materials engineers at Monash University in Australia have devised a method of producing graphene supercapacitors that have the same energy density as the lead-acid battery under your car's hood. Not ...

A paper thin cell phone with a battery life to rival the biggest brick on the market today? New research from a US-China collaboration suggests that in this case the sci might soon be dropping the fi.

Can you make a supercapacitor from kapton tape? Yep! Using a laser, we can decompose the Kapton (polyimide) into a graphene "foam" via a process known as Laser Induced Graphene. This form of graphene ...

Researchers from Texas A&M University have shown that a supercapacitor responds to charging by stretching and expanding, storing energy. This discovery can be applied to the construction of novel ...
