Turning Girl Scout Cookies Into Graphene

Turning Girl Scout Cookies Into Graphene:

smilesandvials:

“What Jim Tour down in Houston discovered and showed is that anything that’s got carbon in it you can turn into graphene.

And to demonstrate that he meant anything, he did it with Girl Scout cookies. He turned those into graphene. He did it with chocolate. He got some chocolate half-dollar coins. He did it with dog feces from a miniature Dachshund, and he did it with a cockroach leg. And essentially he just got a really big oven, heated it up to about 1,000 degrees C and filled that oven with a little bit of this stuff, the cockroach or the dog feces, whatever, and a sheet of pure copper and a little bit of gas, left it for about 20 minutes, and viola, he’d made little bits of really high-quality graphene.”

Keyword here is “little bits” but this will always crack me up. 

What.

Andrew Pollack:

The F.D.A. said on Thursday that there were multiple physical barriers in the Canada and Panama facilities to prevent any escape. The salmon are also made sterile to prevent reproduction in the event they do escape, although the sterilization technique is not foolproof.

Wait a minute, I’ve seen this movie before…

How destructive are these modified fish if they get into the wild? Did they run risk analysis? I’m assuming they ran risk analysis.

Metallic Glasses are New Base for Micro Fuel Cell

Engineers at Yale Univ. have developed a new breed of micro fuel cell that could serve as a long-lasting, low-cost and eco-friendly power source for portable electronic devices, such as tablet computers, smart phones and remote sensors. The researchers describe the novel device in a paper published online in the journal Small.

An alternative to a battery, a fuel cell is an electrochemical device that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce energy, giving off only water and heat as byproducts. But the materials and methods commonly used for making micro fuel cells are fragile, inefficient and expensive.

Jeff Bezos announced a milestone from his space company Blue Origin. The “New Shepard” vehicle flew to space (well, suborbit), reached its test altitude of 329,839 feet (100.5 kilometers) and then successfully landed vertically at the launch site in West Texas.

Check out what Elon Musk had to say about it here.

I suppose this was cool. But, I’m still saying Space X did it first.

materialsscienceandengineering:

Amorphous metal, metallic glass

In nature they prefer to form crystal structures but if liquid metals are cooled down fast enough then, just like glass, the atoms will arrange into a disordered amorphous structure. These amorphous metals, also called metallic glasses, don’t exist naturally because the cooling rates required can be on the order of millions of degrees a second. Methods of forming these materials include extremely rapid cooling, physical vapor deposition, solid-state reaction, ion irradiation, and mechanical alloying.

Metallic glasses are materials of interest because of the properties that can result. They typically have extremely high strength to weight ratios (higher than aluminium and titanium alloys) and are tougher and less brittle than oxide glasses and ceramics. Like crystalline metallic alloys, the properties of these materials also depends upon the composition. Alloys of boron, silicon, phosphorus, and other glass formers with magnetic metals have high magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistance. The fact that amorphous metals are true glasses also allows for easy processing because they soften and flow upon heating. Not all properties are favorable however, metallic glasses also typically have lower ductilities and fatigue strengths. 

Bulk metallic glasses, or BMGs, are alloys with critical cooling rates low enough to allow formation of the desired amorphous structure in thick layers (over 1 millimeter). They are made from alloys with typically three to five metallic components that have a large atomic-size mismatch and a composition close to a deep eutectic. Some examples include Vitreloy 1 (41.2% Zr, 13.8% Ti, 12.5% Cu, 10% Ni, and 22.5% Be), Ti₄₀Cu₃₆Pd₁₄Zr₁₀, and Mg₆₀Zn₃₅Ca₅.
