The study identifies monolayer amorphous carbon (MAC) as a breakthrough in material science, exhibiting superior toughness ...

A new carbon material known as monolayer amorphous carbon (MAC) however, is both strong and tough. In fact, MAC—which was recently synthesized by the group of Barbaros Özyilmaz at the National ...

Amorphous metals could also be used to help realize highly efficient motors that generate fewer carbon emissions. Also known as metallic glasses, amorphous metals have been used in electrical ...

Then, a series of SiOC@C ceramic nanospheres containing SiC/Si3N4, free carbon, and amorphous SiOC were successfully obtained through rational control of the heat-treatment temperature and atmosphere.

A new carbon material known as monolayer amorphous carbon (MAC) however, is both strong and tough. (Nanowerk News) Even the strongest crack under pressure, a problem materials scientists have long ...
