Tiny ocean zooplankton play a massive role in trapping carbon deep below the surface, offering a hidden buffer against ...

Composite carbon fiber, as a replacement for heavy metal alloys, is one smart solution. Developers are looking for innovative ways to enhance performance in their power transmission systems. Even NASA ...

Scientists are designing a new living material that captures carbon dioxide directly from the air. It uses photosynthetic ...

A new study has revealed that small but mighty zooplankton—including copepods, krill, and salps—are key players in the ...

A team of researchers at IMDEA Nanociencia institute and Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore has unveiled a new class of gas ...

PVA fiber is a synthetic polymer identified by high hydrophilicity, moderate modulus of flexibility, and strong interfacial ...

The team led by Zhang Shouchun, a researcher at the Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has made progress in the field of carbon fibre microstructure research, and published a ...

Carbon fiber's dominance has been built over decades, and industries are deeply invested in the current supply chains and manufacturing infrastructure. Nevertheless, the direction is clear.

European Union regulators had included carbon fiber in a draft proposal earlier this year to make it a hazardous material, effectively banning it in the construction of new cars from 2029 ...

The European Union's issue with carbon fiber stems from the potential dangers of its disposal, Motor1 reports. The material consists of micrometer-thin carbon filaments bonded together with resin.

Carbon fiber is also found in planes, including the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, and in wind turbines. Bicycle, sailboat masts, and fishing rod manufacturers also rely on carbon fiber to keep weight low.
