Yale-Led Project Prepares Comprehensive Database of Nanomaterials for Materials Designers

Engineered nanomaterials show a lot of potential for medicine, water treatment, electronics, and other fields. But when developed without crucial information about environmental impacts at the beginning of the process, the materials’ long-term effects could destabilize those advances. As a part of a Yale-led project, a team of researchers aim to change that.

Researchers Optimize Light Absorption Properties of Graphene

Although graphene has various properties—for instance, it is an exceptionally good conductor—it does not have the ability to optimally absorb light. In order to overcome this constraining feature of graphene, which is otherwise an amazing material, physicists chose to embed a graphene sheet within a flat photonic crystal, which efficiently controls the flow of light.
