Graphene nanoribbon defects
Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) feature interesting physical, electrical, thermal, and optical properties because of the interplay between their crystal and electronic structures. These characteristics have pushed them to the forefront in the…
Modifying the Structure and Properties of Graphene
Professor Federico Rosei of the Institut National de la Recherché Scientifique (INRS) collaborated with international researchers to modify graphene properties for use in electronics applications. The study results were recently published…
Ink-jet Printed Graphene Makes Electrons Hop from Flake to Flake Like Frogs
The “super material” known as graphene, first created in 2004, is stronger than steel, highly flexible, and the best conductor of electricity yet. Its impacts on and applications for transportation, medicine, electronics, energy, defense,…
Energy-Harvesting Graphene Circuit Could Provide Limitless Clean Power
In 2012, the global market for graphene, driven by R&D in semiconductor, electronics, and composites, was $9 million. As new uses for and qualities of graphene are discovered, the global market was expected to reach $150 million by…
Focus on Solid Electrolytes’ Mechanical Properties Shows Promising Results
The advantages of solid composite polymer electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries are numerous: low flammability, good flexibility, extreme thermal stability and greater safety than liquid electrolytes.
Recently a team of Brown University…
Towards an Explanation of Superconductivity in Twisted Bilayer Graphene
Superconductivity, which in theory allows electrical energy to be transferred between two points with perfect efficiency, losing nothing to heat, will allow us to save huge amounts of energy and create ever-smaller circuits for confined…
Second Harmonic Generation Technique Finds Defects in 2D Materials
Graphene, the single-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms, is particularly promising for semiconductor manufacture that will permit electronic devices to continue to shrink while using less energy. Graphene’s structural defects enhance the…
Putting the Smarts Into Graphene
As our need for battery power increases and the amount of space available to generate and contain that power decreases, ultrathin batteries are in high demand, particularly for use in medical monitoring devices.
Recently a scientific…
Charge It, Wear It, Use It, Wash It
Graphene inks could lead to washable wearables
The future of mobile devices is wearable – but we aren’t talking about watches or clip-on accessories or even bulky battery packs sandwiches within pockets of shirts.
