"Graphite crystals with an ABAB- type stacking structure are six-fold symmetric around the z axis, whereas a surface with one type of termination is three-fold symmetric," said Matsui.

IN the electron diffraction patterns formed by single crystals of graphite (transmission) we have discovered new spots which would be indexed (½00) or (½½0) (and their symmetrical associates ...

A new material structure generates steam by soaking up the sun. The structure -- a layer of graphite flakes and an underlying carbon foam -- is a porous, insulating material structure that floats ...

The structure of graphite oxide surprisingly expands when cooled in methanol or ethanol. Also, graphite oxide selectively absorbs methanol from water-methanol mixtures. Two new studies provide ...
