Through a novel electrospinning technique, researchers have effectively achieved a “bridge” between carbon fiber and its ...

Stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum, carbon fiber is a staple in aerospace and high-performance vehicles — and now, ...

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed an innovative new ...

A spider web is a lot of powerful, lightweight strands in a very compact package, and so is carbon fiber. Roger Bacon was one of the very first to develop carbon fibers as we understand them today.

ORNL researchers developed a new method to enhance carbon fiber composites using carbon nanofibers for improved strength and ...

But carbon fiber -- strands of carbon atoms bonded together in a matrix -- is particularly tough to recycle into new useful materials. "It's usually a woven material combined with a matrix ...

Pre-preg carbon fiber is a common term for reinforcing carbon strands impregnated with a resin - invariably epoxy. Thermoset carbon fiber molding is the most common manufacturing process in the ...

If you buy through a BGR link, we may earn an affiliate commission, helping support our expert product labs. I’ll just say it: a wall-climbing “spiderbot” that spins incredibly strong webs ...
