A repulsive material

In a world-first achievement, scientists from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science in Japan, along with colleagues from the National Institute of Material Science and the University of Tokyo, have developed a new hydrogel whose properties are dominated by electrostatic repulsion, rather than attractive interactions. According to Yasuhiro Ishida, head of the Emergent Bioinspired

3D graphene structures for use in super-capacitors, through a method inspired by blown sugar, created.

This illuminates an amazing future for quick start-up of electric vehicles and launching of aircrafts. Graphene sheets are immensely strong, lightweight and excellent at conducting electricity. Theoretically, macroscopical three-dimensional graphene assemblies should retain the properties of nanoscale graphene flakes. However, recent attempts to make 3D graphene have resulted in weak conductivity due to poor contact
