Riding with a lightweight motor and battery, and fashioned from carbon fiber and "high-end curated components," the ebike weighs in at under 10 kilos.Continue ReadingCategory: Bicycles, TransportTags: ebikes, Pedal-assisted, Custom, Luxury, Carbon Fiber, Lightweight
When crude oil is processed, a lot of grungy byproducts are left over. A new study indicates that a couple of those substances can be used to make low-cost carbon fibers, which could in turn find use in less costly carbon fiber composites.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: KAUST, Carbon Fiber, Oil
I'm really rooting for the Stanford University researchers working on this carbon removal method. They've found a way to activate materials commonly found in rocks to capture carbon dioxide out of the air at room temperature. It's not exactly the fastest way to hoover up CO2, but the team believes it could be a relatively inexpensive affair, and can easily scale to help sort our emissions problem
Using machine learning, a team of researchers in Canada has created ultrahigh-strength carbon nanolattices, resulting in a material that's as strong as carbon steel, but only as dense as Styrofoam.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags: Physics, Nanomaterials, Carbon
