A little while back I wrote some of the different ways physicists and engineers are attacking the challenge of making large amounts of high-quality graphene. Graphene is a thin sheet of carbon atoms ...

A team from MIT has just reached a significant milestone in understanding superconductors by demonstrating exceptional ...

The revelation that electrons in the single-atom-thick material known as graphene can act much like a frictionless fluid is a significant departure from our conventional understanding of physics. This ...

Transparent electronic and electro-optical (EO) devices have become an area of increasing interest in modern day technology research. Graphene’s excellent optical and electronic properties have made ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. It’s summer, it’s hot, and these atoms are going for a swim. For ...

It might not be mass production just yet, but researchers at New York's Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have applied some (relatively) low technology to the problem of producing large quantities of ...

Porous yet densely packed carbon electrodes with high ion-accessible surface area and low ion transport resistance are crucial to the realization of high-density electrochemical capacitive energy ...

A team of researchers led by Rahul Nair of the University of Manchester have invented a graphene oxide membrane that can sieve salt from seawater, producing potable water. Graphene has been tipped as ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have helped advance research into graphene and other ultrathin materials, both in terms of using specialized tools and ...
