Graphite

Scientists at Stanford University have found a new way of creating artificial diamonds out of graphite (the material in your pencil leads), without applying external pressure of any sort.

Changing the very nature of paper itself into conductive graphite creates paper-based circuit boards that are cheap and flexible.

Aerographite is now officially the world's lightest solid material, beating out metallic microlattice and aerogel.

A new discovery regarding a naturally-occurring lubricating layer on artificial hip joints could lead to longer-lasting prosthetic hips.

Researchers have created the first two-terminal memory chips that use only silicon in a way that should be easily adaptable to nanoelectronic manufacturing techniques and promises to extend the limits of miniaturization subject to Moore's Law.

Newly-developed graphite foam is said to make LED lamps last longer by cooling them more effectively than traditional methods.

The Sharpie Liquid Pencil writes like a pen but erases like a pencil.

Researchers from Rice University have made major steps forward in graphite-based memory and FPGAs.
