“Crude oil is a resource with immense potential beyond fuels,” says Edwin Guevara Romero, a researcher in the labs of Mani Sarathy, who led the work. “Using oil residues as feedstocks for carbon ...

When crude oil is processed, a lot of grungy byproducts are left over. A new study indicates that a couple of those ...

McLaren has been on the bleeding edge of carbon fiber technology for more than 40 years now. It all started way back in the '80s when it started using carbon fiber in the construction of its ...

Carbon fiber has reached a point of borderline oversaturation, even trickling down to borderline-affordably priced performance cars in recent years. But even if we’re not longer as impressed by ...

Teijin Carbon (Wuppertal, Germany), a producer of carbon fibers and carbon fiber-based materials, is launching a new brand, Tenax Next, to represent its next-generation carbon fiber products. These ...
