If you've spent anytime around performance vehicles — cars, high speed boats, aircraft, bicycles, etc. — you've likely seen carbon fiber used somewhere in the construction. It might seem like wizardry ...

Carbon fiber's blend of incredible strength and low weight has revolutionized modern engineering. Today, you see it in everything from wind turbines and airplanes to carbon fiber car parts and sports ...

In this video, I restore a massive cleaver that was covered in rust and on the brink of being lost forever. Watch as I remove the corrosion, repair the blade, and craft a sleek carbon fiber handle, ...

Lightweight yet strong and resistant to corrosion and weathering, carbon fiber–reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are used in aircraft, shipping containers, natural gas storage tanks, wind turbine blades, ...

In the context of the Ford Mustang GTD, a carbon fiber aesthetics package is clinically uninteresting. I mean, this is a street-legal racecar made by Multimatic; it has an inboard rear suspension that ...

Carbon fibers consist of thin filaments (5–10 micrometers in diameter) made of long chains of carbon atoms arranged in a polycrystalline structure. These fibers contain 92–100 wt% anisotropic carbon ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story. Carbon fiber is a brilliant high-performance material with excellent strength-to-weight properties, but it remains expensive and impractical to ...

Update: It looks like carbon fiber has dodged a regulatory bullet – for now. A representative from the European Parliament told Motor1 Italia that it plans to drop the lightweight material from the ...

Restoring degraded peatlands could play a vital role in tackling climate change, according to a new study led by researchers from Bangor University and the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology. The ...
