Creating new opportunities from nanoscale materials

“MIT Professor Frances Ross is pioneering new techniques to study materials growth and how structure relates to performance. A hundred years ago, “2d” meant a two-penny, or 1-inch, nail. Today, “2-D” encompasses a broad range of atomically thin flat materials …

Laser printing tech produces waterproof e-textiles in minutes

“The next generation of waterproof smart fabrics will be laser printed and made in minutes. That’s the future imagined by the researchers behind new e-textile technology. Scientists from RMIT have developed a cost-efficient and scaleable method for rapidly fabricating …

A laser for penetrating waves

“Research team develops a new principle to generate terahertz radiation The “Landau-level laser” is an exciting concept for an unusual radiation source. It has the potential to efficiently generate so-called terahertz waves, which can be used to penetrate materials as …

How do atoms vibrate in graphene nanostructures?

“Innovative new electron spectroscopy technique pushes the limits of Nanospectroscopy for materials design In order to understand advanced materials like graphene nanostructures and optimize them for devices in nano-, opto- and quantum-technology it is crucial to understand how phonons – the …

Stanford builds a heat shield just 10 atoms thick to protect electronic devices

“Atomically thin materials developed by Stanford researchers could create heat-shields for cell phones or laptops that would protect people and temperature-sensitive components and make future electronic gadgets even more compact. Excess heat given off by smartphones, laptops and other electronic …

Development of Simplified New Mass Spectrometric Technique using Laser and Graphene

“A technology that can obtain high-resolution, micrometer-sized images for mass spectrometric analysis without sample preparation has been developed. DGIST Research Fellow Jae Young Kim and Chair-professor Dae Won Moon’s team succeeded in developing the precise analysis and micrometer-sized imaging …

Thinnest optical waveguide channels light within just three layers of atoms

“Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed the thinnest optical device in the world—a waveguide that is three layers of atoms thin. The work is a proof of concept for scaling down optical devices to sizes …

A modified device fabrication process achieves enhanced spin transport in graphene

“Researchers from the ICN2 Physics and Engineering of Nanodevices Group have proposed a modified graphene-based nanodevice fabrication technique that has increased up to three times the spin lifetime and relaxation length compared to previous work of the same kind. The …

Scientists create the world’s thinnest gold

“cientists at the University of Leeds have created a new form of gold which is just two atoms thick – the thinnest unsupported gold ever created. The researchers measured the thickness of the gold to be 0.47 nanometres – one million …

Synthesizing Single-Crystalline Hexagonal Graphene Quantum Dots

“A KAIST team has designed a novel strategy for synthesizing single-crystalline graphene quantum dots, which emit stable blue light. The research team confirmed that a display made of their synthesized graphene quantum dots successfully emitted blue light with stable electric …
