    Carbon nanofibers CNFs are exquisite conductors of heat and electricity and have very high tensile strength Made up of layers of individual graphene sheets they show promise in highperformance electronics textiles and other industrial and consumer applications They also exhibit quantum behaviors that make them unique for a range of metamaterials
    While a simple and economic method to synthesize carbon nanofibers (CNFs) has eluded scientists for decades, the most impressive feature of GWU’s “one-pot” synthesis is that it...
