Scientists Examine First-of-its-Kind “Living” Nanomaterial

A new kind of electron microscopy permits scientists to analyze nanoscale tubular materials when they are “alive” and forming liquids—a first-of-its-kind in the field. The new technique, known as variable temperature liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy (VT-LPTEM), was developed by multidisciplinary researchers at the University of Tennessee and Northwestern University, and allowed them to study these high-resolution dynamic, sensitive materials.

Novel System for Large-Scale Production of Graphene through CVD

AIXTRON, Graphene Flagship’s partner, announced the outcomes of two of its systems that facilitate the large-scale synthesis of graphene through chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The neutron is a roll-to-roll system with the potential to deposit large areas of graphene on metal foils under ambient conditions. The CCS 2D system facilitates wafer-scale synthesis of graphene on insulating wafers, a major progress that will accelerate the development of new graphene electronics.
