**Cornell Engineering Researchers Develop Nanoporous Carbon with Record-Breaking Surface Area**

Ithaca, NY – A team of researchers at Cornell University has achieved a groundbreaking development in material science by creating a nanoporous carbon with the highest surface area ever reported. Using a chemical reaction inspired by the ignition process of rocket fuel, the engineers were able to construct the advanced material.

This new nanoporous carbon offers significant improvements in energy storage capabilities. Notably, the material achieves a volumetric energy density of 60 watt-hours per liter, which is approximately four times greater than the density provided by commercially available activated carbons.

The innovation presents exciting potential for advancements in energy storage technologies, representing a critical step forward for applications requiring higher energy density materials. Further details on the chemical process and testing remain subject to ongoing research.
