Researchers create a form of carbon with an incredible surface area
This could allow the material to trap more substances, including various chemicals.
Hypergolics are widely used in jet propulsion.
Researchers at Cornell University have developed a nanoporous carbon material with the largest surface area ever known.
The breakthrough uses a chemical reaction similar to the ignition of rocket fuel and could be used to improve carbon dioxide capture and energy storage technologies, which could advance the next generation of batteries.
