Duenne Schichten, die sich selbst zu winzigen Mikro- und Nanoroehren zusammenrollen, sausen mit eigenem Antrieb und von Magneten gesteuert durch Fluessigkeiten. Mit diesem Ergebnis stellen Wissenschaftler des Leibniz-Instituts fuer Festkoerper- und Werkstoffforschung Dresden (IFW) einen Weltrekord auf, der jetzt auch von "Guinness World Records" bestaetigt wurde: der kleinste von Menschenhand hergestellte Duesenantrieb der Welt.

Read moreTwo types of raw materials are currently used for biorefining and biofuel production: carbohydrates and lipids. Biofuels like ethanol are derived from carbohydrate raw materials such as sugars and lignocellulose, while biodiesels are derived from another raw material, lipid-rich vegetable oil.

Graphene Oxide has had a scrum of researchers fall upon it as it retains much of the properties of the highly valued super material pure Graphene, but it is much easier, and cheaper, to make in bulk quantities; easier to process; and its significant oxygen content appears to make it soluble in water. However new research has found that that last assumption is incorrect and unfortunately Graphene oxide's solubility literally comes out in the wash.
