Carbon fiber is made from a chemical called acrylonitrile. Currently, producers make acrylonitrile from oil, ammonia, oxygen and an expensive catalyst. The process produces a lot of heat and ...

The sealed ovens are oxygen-free. The fibers lose the bulk of their non-carbon atoms and the carbon atoms orient themselves parallel to the fiber's long axis in tightly bonded carbon crystals.

A newly developed process helps solve this problem: CO 2 is directly split electrochemically into carbon and oxygen. As a Chinese research team reports in the journal Angewandte Chemie ...

A new method for taking carbon dioxide directly from the air and converting it to oxygen and nanoscale fibers ... Imagine that carbon fiber composites eventually replace steel, aluminum, and ...

Business Insider asked a SpaceX representative for more details on the upcoming "full cryo test", which is presumably when the carbon-fiber tank will be pumped full of a liquid oxygen propellant ...

why don’t we split it into harmless carbon and oxygen? —J. Henderson, Devon, Pa. James E. Miller, a chemical engineer at Sandia National Laboratories, breaks it down: Splitting carbon ...

With a zap, a beam of ultraviolet light can blast carbon dioxide into oxygen gas, O 2. Because the sun hurls the same radiation, the reaction hints that breathable air could have formed on Earth ...

The Aug. 28 post shared on a Facebook page called Addicted to Gardening says aloe plants raise oxygen levels in your home while absorbing several gases, including carbon dioxide. "Just one aloe ...

Speaking on CNBC yesterday, Musk said “it basically involves liquid helium, advanced carbon fiber composites, and solid oxygen. Oxygen so cold that it actually enters solid phase.” ...

Carbon monoxide poisoning sends roughly 40,000 people to hospitals every year in the United States. Although doctors routinely treat such patients with oxygen, the medical community still hasn’t ...
