XG Sciences launches graphene-stabilized silicon anode materials for Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

The new anode material is produced through proprietary manufacturing processes and uses the company’s xGnP graphene nanoplatelets to stabilize silicon particles in a nano-engineered composite structure. Over time, we anticipate formulating custom nano-engineered anode materials with specific properties for each of these major markets.

The Rise and Fall of 3M’s Floppy Disk

Cars That Think

How 3M Became a Key Innovator in the Production of Magnetic Data Storage Now, to be clear, 3M did not invent magnetic storage—that was done by Austro-German engineer Fritz Pfleumer , in 1928. BASF, a German chemical manufacturer, has a somewhat similar corporate history and logo design to fellow thick-Helvetica enthusiast 3M.
