ASW: TSX.V VANCOUVER, May 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Anglo Swiss Resources Inc. (ASW:TSX-V, ASWRF: PK) ("Anglo Swiss" or the "Company") is pleased to announce plans to commence prospecting at its Blu Starr Graphite Property in the Slocan Valley near the city of Nelson in southeastern BC. The property is located south of Eagle Graphite Corporation's flake graphite operation and adjoins their claim group. Eagle Graphite is one of only two natural flake graphite mines operating in...

University of Arizona physicists are making discoveries that may advance electronic circuit technology Graphite, more commonly known as pencil lead, could become the next big thing in the quest for smaller and less power-hungry electronics. Resembling chicken wire on a nano scale, graphene – single sheets of graphite – is only one atom thick, making it the world's thinnest material. Two million graphene sheets stacked up would not be as thick as a credit card. The tricky part...

Researchers in South Korea and CWRU devise new process Mixing a little dry ice and a simple industrial process cheaply mass-produces high-quality graphene nanosheets, researchers in South Korea and Case Western Reserve University report. Graphene, which is made from graphite, the same stuff as "lead" in pencils, has been hailed as the most important synthetic material in a century. Sheets conduct electricity better than copper, heat better than any material known, are harder than...

Berkeley Lab Researchers Develop a Potential Low Cost Alternative to Platinum for Splitting Water A technique for creating a new molecule that structurally and chemically replicates the active part of the widely used industrial catalyst molybdenite has been developed by researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). This technique holds promise for the creation of catalytic materials that can serve as effective low-cost alternatives...

SelfLube discusses the positive aspects in using solid aluminum bronze for its L-gibs and how this prevents damage of tools. A mishap that is increasingly well known throughout the mold and die industry. Coopersville, MI (PRWEB) January 27, 2012 SelfLube is a manufacturer of precision components used in molds, metal stamping dies and special machines. Making primarily wear plates when it first opened its doors in 1990 the company now has nearly 8,000 different part numbers. Among its many...

Engineers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Rice University Discover How the Extreme Thinness of Graphene Enables Near-Perfect Wetting Transparency Graphene is the thinnest material known to science. The nanomaterial is so thin, in fact, water often doesn’t even know it’s there. Engineering researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Rice University coated pieces of gold, copper, and silicon with a single layer of graphene, and then placed a drop of water on the coated...

Surpassing the physical limits of silicon After having revealed the electronic advantages of molybdenite, EPFL researchers have now taken the next definitive step. The Laboratory of Nanoscale Electronics and Structures (LANES) has made a chip, or integrated circuit, confirming that molybdenite can surpass the physical limits of silicon in terms of miniaturization, electricity consumption, and mechanical flexibility. "We have built an initial prototype, putting from two to six serial...

YONKERS, N.Y., Nov. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- GRAPHALLOY® 845 Spherical Inserts, from Graphite Metallizing Corporation, are replacing traditional ball bearings in many high temperature applications. The reason? GRAPHALLOY®, a graphite/metal alloy, is designed to operate without lubrication which makes 845 Spherical Inserts especially suited for operations where temperatures can reach -- or exceed -- 750 degrees F (400 degrees C). (Photo:...

Materials scientists find new way to control electronic properties of graphene 'alloys'Rice University materials scientists have made a fundamental discovery that could make it easier for engineers to build electronic circuits out of the much-touted nanomaterial graphene.Graphene's stock shot sky-high last year when the nanomaterial attracted the Nobel Prize in physics. Graphene is a layer of carbon atoms that is just one atom thick. When stacked atop one another, graphene sheets form...

Self-Lubricating Stainless Steel Cam Followers for Wet or Submersible Applications (PRWEB) August 04, 2011 Graphite Metallizing Corporation announces the availability of GRAPHALLOY® stainless steel cam followers for wet or submersible applications. These stainless steel cam followers are corrosion resistant and survive wash down and steam, eliminating the problems experienced with traditional cam followers. GRAPHALLOY® cam followers do not contain oil or grease to harden, burn...
