Aerogel

Aerogels are a class of synthetic porous ultralight material derived from a gel, in which the liquid component for the gel has been replaced with a gas, without significant collapse of the gel structure.

See Carbon nanofoam and Aerogel

Allotropes of carbon

Carbon is capable of forming many allotropes (structurally different forms of the same element) due to its valency.

See Carbon nanofoam and Allotropes of carbon

Argon

Argon is a chemical element; it has symbol Ar and atomic number 18.

See Carbon nanofoam and Argon

Atmosphere of Earth

The atmosphere of Earth is composed of a layer of gas mixture that surrounds the Earth's planetary surface (both lands and oceans), known collectively as air, with variable quantities of suspended aerosols and particulates (which create weather features such as clouds and hazes), all retained by Earth's gravity.

See Carbon nanofoam and Atmosphere of Earth

Atom

Atoms are the basic particles of the chemical elements.

Australian National University

The Australian National University (ANU) is a public research university and member of the Group of Eight, located in Canberra, the capital of Australia.

Buckminsterfullerene

Buckminsterfullerene is a type of fullerene with the formula C60.

See Carbon nanofoam and Buckminsterfullerene

Canberra

Canberra is the capital city of Australia.

Curie temperature

In physics and materials science, the Curie temperature (TC), or Curie point, is the temperature above which certain materials lose their permanent magnetic properties, which can (in most cases) be replaced by induced magnetism.

See Carbon nanofoam and Curie temperature

Degrees of freedom (physics and chemistry)

In physics and chemistry, a degree of freedom is an independent physical parameter in the formal description of the state of a physical system.

See Carbon nanofoam and Degrees of freedom (physics and chemistry)

Diamond-like carbon

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a class of amorphous carbon material that displays some of the typical properties of diamond. Carbon nanofoam and diamond-like carbon are allotropes of carbon.

Electrical resistivity and conductivity

Electrical resistivity (also called volume resistivity or specific electrical resistance) is a fundamental specific property of a material that measures its electrical resistance or how strongly it resists electric current.

See Carbon nanofoam and Electrical resistivity and conductivity

Femtosecond

A femtosecond is a unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 10 or of a second; that is, one quadrillionth, or one millionth of one billionth, of a second.

See Carbon nanofoam and Femtosecond

Ferromagnetism

Ferromagnetism is a property of certain materials (such as iron) that results in a significant, observable magnetic permeability, and in many cases, a significant magnetic coercivity, allowing the material to form a permanent magnet.

See Carbon nanofoam and Ferromagnetism

Fractal

In mathematics, a fractal is a geometric shape containing detailed structure at arbitrarily small scales, usually having a fractal dimension strictly exceeding the topological dimension.

See Carbon nanofoam and Fractal

Graphite

Graphite is a crystalline form of the element carbon. Carbon nanofoam and Graphite are allotropes of carbon.

See Carbon nanofoam and Graphite

Heptagon

In geometry, a heptagon or septagon is a seven-sided polygon or 7-gon.

See Carbon nanofoam and Heptagon

Hexagon

In geometry, a hexagon (from Greek ἕξ, hex, meaning "six", and γωνία, gonía, meaning "corner, angle") is a six-sided polygon.

See Carbon nanofoam and Hexagon

Laser ablation

Laser ablation or photoablation (also called laser blasting) is the process of removing material from a solid (or occasionally liquid) surface by irradiating it with a laser beam.

See Carbon nanofoam and Laser ablation

Magnetic moment

In electromagnetism, the magnetic moment or magnetic dipole moment is the combination of strength and orientation of a magnet or other object or system that exerts a magnetic field.

See Carbon nanofoam and Magnetic moment

Pentagon

In geometry, a pentagon is any five-sided polygon or 5-gon.

See Carbon nanofoam and Pentagon

Pi bond

In chemistry, pi bonds (π bonds) are covalent chemical bonds, in each of which two lobes of an orbital on one atom overlap with two lobes of an orbital on another atom, and in which this overlap occurs laterally.

See Carbon nanofoam and Pi bond

Sea level

Mean sea level (MSL, often shortened to sea level) is an average surface level of one or more among Earth's coastal bodies of water from which heights such as elevation may be measured.

See Carbon nanofoam and Sea level

Spintronics

Spintronics (a portmanteau meaning spin transport electronics), also known as spin electronics, is the study of the intrinsic spin of the electron and its associated magnetic moment, in addition to its fundamental electronic charge, in solid-state devices.
