  • Layers of graphene, water and helium

    Updated: 2012-01-31 20:37:17
    , home archives davidbradley Follow sciencebase Post mortem breast implants Jan 31, 2012 Layers of graphene , water and helium Posted in Science at 11:30 am by David Bradley Graphene is perhaps the thinnest material known . Essentially it is a single , isolated layer of the carbon allotrope graphite . In SpectroscopyNOW this week I discuss new research into how a single layer of graphene is transparent to water molecules in the sense that the water can see” whatever is underneath without the graphene influence . More details on that and potential applications over on SN , but it was the coincidence of a paper by Geim and colleagues at Manchester , which I covered last week in Chemistry World that intrigued me . On the one hand water interacts with a metal coated with a single layer of

  • UK researchers shed light on magnetic mystery of graphite

    Updated: 2012-01-27 09:00:20
    The physical property of magnetism has historically been associated with metals such as iron, nickel and cobalt; however, graphite – an organic mineral made up of stacks of individual carbon sheets – has baffled researchers in recent years by showing weak signs of magnetism. The hunt for an explanation has not been without controversy, with [...]

  • The Prophet of Space Trash | DISCOVER Magazine

    Updated: 2012-01-26 17:15:00
    Colliding satellites add to the expanding mass of junk in space. In 2009, after two telecom satellites smashed into each other, the U.S. National Research Council commissioned a team of experts to examine whether NASA was doing enough to address the growing problem of space junk. When it came time to pick the chair of the panel, the choice was obvious: Don Kessler, a 71-year-old retired NASA scientist who has been warning the world about orbital debris for more than 30 years. Kessler grew up dreaming of becoming an astronomer but had no money for college, so he joined the Army. After he got out in 1961, he returned home to Houston, where NASA had recently established its manned spaceflight headquarters. Kessler was accepted into the agency’s cooperative education program, which allowed him to earn a degree in physics. He started out studying meteoroids, but his attention soon shifted to debris from space launches. By 1978 he had published his landmark paper, “Collision Frequency of Artificial Satellites,” detailing the science behind what is now unofficially known as the Kessler Syndrome: Space junk collides with other space junk, producing more and more fragments, until the debris eventually renders low Earth orbit (within about 1,000 miles of Earth’s surface) impassable. Junk was sparse in the 1970s, though, and people tended to think of low orbit as part of infinite space. “Nobody believed it initially,” Kessler says...
