Researchers Provide New Insights about Physics of Conductive Materials by Examining Electrons in Graphene

Compared to copper, graphene is much more conductive, partly due to its 2D structure. In a majority of metals, conductivity is restricted by crystal flaws which cause electrons to often scatter like billiard balls when they travel through the material.

Observing Nanoparticles by Achieving Frequency Splitting

More than two has always been considered to be a crowd. However, at present, electrical and systems engineers from the Washington University in St. Louis and their colleagues have demonstrated that when a third nanoscatterer is added to a photonics resonator, in addition to the existing two “tuning” nanoscatterers, the result is just exhilarating.
