‘Nano’ material may pave way for more fuel-efficient airplanes, cars

Washington, Aug 1 (ANI): By developing a nanomaterial that makes plastic stiffer, lighter and stronger, a Michigan State University researcher has made a breakthrough in the energy and electronics industry. This material, called xGnP Exfoliated Graphite NanoPlatelets, could further lead to more fuel-efficient airplanes and cars as well as more durable medical and sports equipment.
