Australian researchers cook up graphene using soybean oil
by Lauren Heath-Jones | 15 Feb 2017
Researchers at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) have discovered a way of producing graphene using soybean oil. The team of scientists have developed a technique, known as GraphAir, that heats soybean oil in a tube furnace until the oil decomposes into carbon ‘building blocks.’ The carbon is then rapidly cooled on nickel foil, where it diffuses into a one nanometre thick rectangular film of graphene. The team
CLAD roundup: Santiago Calatrava, FC Barcelona and Conscious Cities
by Kim Megson | 04 Mar 2016
It’s been another busy week in the world of leisure architecture, design, investment and development, and CLAD has reported on some exciting trends and discoveries which will have big implications for the industry. We covered an important new study into graphene, which found that by using biomimicry this nanometre thin material could be applied in buildings as ‘smart wallpaper’ to generate electricity from waste light or heat, potentially revolutionising how
Super-thin graphene 'wallpaper' will revolutionise our buildings, say scientists
by Kim Megson | 29 Feb 2016
British scientists have discovered how graphene – the nanometre-thin material with remarkable electrical conductivity and mechanical strength – could be applied in buildings as ‘smart wallpaper’ to generate electricity from waste light or heat. Inspired by the light-sensitive eyes of moths, scientists at the University of Surrey’s Advanced Technology Institute have used biomimicry to create ultra-thin graphene sheets that can effectively capture light for the first time. The team found
