Graphene: The Strongest Material in the World made from TRASH? Discovery from Rice University

Flash graphene is a process developed by Rice University professor James Tour and his team that can turn any carbon source into turbostratic graphene in a matter of milliseconds. The process involves heating carbon-containing materials to high temperatures for a short amount of time, which creates graphene flakes. The resulting graphene is low-cost, high-quality, and can be used for a variety of applications such as energy storage, water filtration, and electronics.

Dr. James Tour is a synthetic organic chemist and nanotechnologist who is recognized for his research in molecular electronics, graphene electronics, and nanomachines. He is a professor of chemistry, computer science, and materials science and nanoengineering at Rice University and has authored over 700 research publications and 160 patents. In addition to developing flash graphene, Dr. Tour's research has contributed to advancements in carbon nanotubes, nanocars, and other nanotechnology applications.
