Traditional methods for making graphite involve heating premium needle coke and coal-tar pitch at temperatures above 3,000ºC ...

In a microwave oven, sparks are generated inside a glass vial containing coal powder and copper foil as part of an experiment by UW researchers. They successfully converted the coal powder to ...

Researchers at the University of Wyoming were looking for new ways to use coal, especially coal from Wyoming’s Powder River Basin, as demand for the coal to generate electricity declines due to ...

A recent discovery in a study of room-temperature superconductivity, if borne out, could make the dream of super-efficient long-distance electricity transmission and levitating trains a little closer ...

Arxiv – Can doping graphite trigger room temperature superconductivity? Evidence for granular high-temperature superconductivity in water-treated graphite powder Trying to dope graphite flakes we ...
