Rice University graduate student Kevin Wyss holds untreated parts from an “end-of-life” truck that would be ground into powder and turned into graphene via the lab’s flash Joule heating process. The graphene can then be repeatedly recycled to provide enhanced strength and sound-dampening polyurethane for new vehicles.
