One box of Girl Scout Cookies worth 15 billion dollarsHouston TX (SPX) Aug 09, 2011 Scientists can make graphene out of just about anything with carbon - even Girl Scout Cookies. Graduate students in the Rice University lab of chemist James Tour proved it when they invited a troop of Houston Girl Scouts to their lab to show them how it's done. The work is part of a paper published online by ACS Nano. Rice scientists described how graphene - a single-atom-thick sheet of the same material in pencil lead - can be made from just about any carbon source, including food, insects and wa ... read more |
