“Scientists at Aalto University, Finland, and the University of Vienna, Austria, have combined graphene and single-walled carbon nanotubes into a transparent hybrid material with conductivity higher than either component exhibits separately Transparent conductive films (TCFs) have many applications in touch …
“MIT researchers discover why magnetism in certain materials is different in atomically thin layers and their bulk forms. Researchers led by MIT Department of Physics Professor Pablo Jarillo-Herrero last year showed that rotating layers of hexagonally structured graphene at a …
“Researchers at The Ohio State University, in collaboration with scientists around the world, have made a discovery that could provide new insights into how superconductors might move energy more efficiently to power homes, industries and vehicles. Their work, published last …
“Physicists from the University of Groningen constructed a two-dimensional spin transistor, in which spin currents were generated by an electric current through graphene. A monolayer of a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) was placed on top of a graphene to induce …
“ICFO researchers develop low-power wearable devices that can monitor multiple vital signs of humans. New technological devices are prioritizing non-invasive tracking of vital signs not only for fitness monitoring, but also for the prevention of common health problems such as …
“· Discovery by University of Warwick scientists challenges accepted rule of organic solar cell design · Could help to bring about low cost, flexible and stable organic solar cells for use on vehicles, curved surfaces and windows · Reducing surface area of electrodes …
“Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology have demonstrated a detector made from graphene that could revolutionize the sensors used in next-generation space telescopes. The findings were recently published in the scientific journal Nature Astronomy. Beyond superconductors, there are few materials …
“Göttingen researchers develop a new method allowing ten-fold improvement in optical resolution Researchers at the University of Göttingen have developed a new method that takes advantage of the unusual properties of graphene to electromagnetically interact with fluorescing (light-emitting) molecules. This …
“Want to make a super strong material from nano-scale building blocks? Start with the highest quality building blocks, right? Wrong — at least when working with “flakes” of graphene oxide (GO). A new study from Northwestern University researchers shows that better …
“Researchers at The University of Manchester discovered that atomically- thin micas – the name given to a type of common mineral found in soil – are excellent proton conductors. This surprising result is important for the use of 2D materials in applications …
