The company’s work optimizing vehicle wheel cover designs has evolved into these bio-inspired, carbon fiber options with ...

Carbon fibers consist of thin filaments (5–10 micrometers in diameter) made of long chains of carbon atoms arranged in a polycrystalline structure. These fibers contain 92–100 wt% anisotropic carbon ...

If you've spent anytime around performance vehicles — cars, high speed boats, aircraft, bicycles, etc. — you've likely seen carbon fiber used somewhere in the construction. It might seem like wizardry ...

A new carbon material could make capturing CO2 far cheaper by working with low heat.

Carbon fiber reinforced nylon offers unmatched strength, heat resistance, and stability in 3D printing, but it demands precise preparation and hardware upgrades. From drying filament to upgrading ...

Carbon fiber wheels exist because, for the right kind of driver — or automaker — they solve problems aluminum never could. They're light but made of sturdy and durable carbon fibers tightly interlaced ...

A new draft revision of the European Union’s End of Life Vehicles (ELV) Directive could lead to the classification of carbon fiber as a hazardous material, potentially banning its use in cars by 2029.

Advanced Ceramic Fibers LLC (ACF, Idaho Falls, Idaho, U.S.) has developed patented processes and materials that enable ultra-high temperature (UHT) ceramic matrix composites (CMC) and metal matrix ...

Carbon fiber has transformed automotive design, blending lightweight strength with sleek aesthetics. Once exclusive to supercars, it’s now accessible for enthusiasts and daily drivers alike. From ...

Relevant to this last application, the doping doesn’t alter the durability of the (very tough) carbon nanotube fibers. They ...

Carbon nanotubes are one technology that many observers believe hasn't quite lived up to the extreme hype that surrounded ...
