Superconductivity – pairing up with nanotechnology
Almost a century after Heike Kamerlingh Onnes first discovered superconductivity, the factors that determine whether a system will be superconducting…
Buckyball Marries Graphene
Scientists combined buckyballs, which resemble tiny soccer balls made from 60 carbon atoms, with graphene, a single layer of carbon,…
Graphene can be tuned to behave as both an insulator and a superconductor
Researchers at MIT and Harvard University have found that graphene can be tuned to behave at two electrical extremes: as…
