Compound of Graphene Foam and Epoxy

Caption

A compound of graphene foam and epoxy, as seen in this artist's rendition, promises to be a tough, light and conductive material for applications. Scientists at Rice University led the effort to develop the material that, when combined with carbon nanotubes, is more than 1,700 percent stiffer than pure epoxy.
