A bunch of Japanese scientists at the University of Tokyo have invented a new paint that is designed to block high-frequency electromagnetic waves. Whilst the technology is not new, previous paints ...

For increased durability, efficient protective coatings must be developed because aluminium is more susceptible to corrosion under harsh conditions. In this research, an innovative graphene oxide (GO) ...
