Exeter team develops technique for improved graphene-based sensors
Exeter researchers have recently reported a new method to use graphene to produce photodetectors, which they feel could revolutionize the manufacturing of vital safety equipment, such as radiation and smoke detection units.
Observing electrons surfing waves of light on graphene
Researchers have studied how light can be used to observe the quantum nature of an electronic material. They captured light in graphene and slowed it down to the speed of the material’s electrons. Then electrons and light started to move in concert, manifesting their quantum nature at such large scale that it could observed with […]
New chemical method could revolutionize graphene
University of Illinois at Chicago scientists have discovered a new chemical method that enables graphene to be incorporated into a wide range of applications while maintaining its ultra-fast electronics.
Promising Spintronic Switch Proposed by UTD Researcher-led Team
A group of researchers led by Joseph Friedman of the University of Texas, Dallas, report in Nature Communications development of an all-carbon spintronic system in which spintronic switches function as gates.
Graphene electrodes may open new paths in molecular electronic devices
An international team of researchers, led by the University of Bern and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and assisted by the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU, Spain) and Chuo University (Japan), has demonstrated a new way to control the functionality of next-gen molecular electronic devices using graphene.
Artificial transpiration for solar water purification
Recently, solar steam and vapor generation has attracted attention as a promising prospect in desalination, sterilization and chemical purification. Tremendous progress has been achieved in absorber designs and thermal management. However, in all the previous designs, because of the minimized optical loss and heat conduction loss, losses related to convection and conduction start to dominate. […]
High performance graphene transistors developed by Graphene Flagship researchers
An international team of scientists collaborating in the Graphene Flagship project has developed a graphene-based transistor that reportedly outperforms previous state-of-the-art ones.
Graphene-Based Neural Probes Probe Brain Activity in High Resolution
Graphene-based transistors enable a flexible neural probe with excellent signal-to-noise ratio. Such probes are useful for examining neural activity for understanding diseases, as well as in neuroprosthetics for control of artificial limbs.
Researcher's 'miracle material' discovery could end cracked smart devices
Currently, most parts of a smart phone are made of silicon and other compounds, which are expensive and break easily, but with almost 1.5 billion smart phones purchased worldwide last year, manufacturers are on the lookout for something more durable and less costly. Dr Elton Santos from Queen’s University’s School of Mathematics and Physics, has […]
