“UVM physicists discover how to create the thinnest liquid films ever A team of physicists at the University of Vermont have discovered a fundamentally new way surfaces can get wet. Their study may allow scientists to create the thinnest films …
“A team of material researchers from Jülich, Munich, and Prague has succeeded in producing a composite material that is particularly suited for electrodes in lithium batteries. The nanocomposite material might help to significantly increase the storage capacity and lifetime of …
“”Normally it’s not a huge success that not a damn thing has happened after 120 days.” These words belong to Professor Peter Bøggild after a four-month period where a novel type of anticorrosion coating was tested. The nanomaterial graphene …
“In a recent study, scientists at the University of Oulu have developed a nanojunction, joining one of the most promising novel materials, molybdenum disulfide, with nickel. Graphene has undoubtedly been the most popular research subject of nanotechnology during recent years …
“Reducing the wavelength of light could allow it to be absorbed or emitted by a semiconductor, study suggests. A new way of enhancing the interactions between light and matter, developed by researchers at MIT and Israel’s Technion, could someday …
“Measurements at Berkeley Lab’s Molecular Foundry reveal exotic spin properties that could lead to new form of data storage esearchers working at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) coupled graphene, a monolayer form of …
“Research focused on upscaling of energy-storage devices was presented by Dr Billy Wu and Professor Jason Riley in an IMSE Lunchtime Seminar last week. The Institute for Molecular Science and Engineering (IMSE) co-ordinates a range of integrated activities to bring …
“Purdue researchers have discovered a new two-dimensional material, derived from the rare element tellurium, to make transistors that carry a current better throughout a computer chip. The discovery adds to a list of extremely thin, two-dimensional materials that engineers have …
“Sustainable highly conductive electrode materials from ultrathin carbon nanofiber aerogels derived from nanofibrillated cellulose Carbon aerogels are ultralight, conductive materials, which are extensively investigated for applications in supercapacitor electrodes in electrical cars and cell phones. Chinese scientists have now found …
News Understanding the Generation of Light-Induced Electrical Current in Atomically Thin Nanomaterials
“Scientists demonstrated that scanning photocurrent microscopy—an imaging capability just added to Brookhaven Lab’s Center for Functional Nanomaterials—could provide the optoelectronic information needed to improve the performance of devices for power generation, communications, data storage, and lighting Scientists …
