Ripples in Structure of Graphene Key to Understanding its Unusual Characteristics

Graphene is a two-dimensional material that consists of a hexagonal array of carbon just one atom thick . Although it is essentially just a single sheet of graphite, its properties are remarkable and unique. Notably, its charge carriers behave like massless relativistic particles, and move at a speed of just 300 times less than the speed of light-many times more quickly than in silicon.

Reducing Pollution from Nanoparticles by 25 Percent

A study undertaken by researchers from the University of Alcalá (UAH) shows that if the "super-polluters", the high-polluting vehicles, such as certain buses and lorries in a poor condition, were removed, pollution from nanoparticles could be reduced by up to 25% and 48%, depending on the parameter analysed. These minute particles cause serious health problems.
