Engineers Develop Novel Strategy for Designing Semiconductor Nanoparticles for Wide-Ranging Applications

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) nanomaterials such as molybdenite (MoS2), which possess a similar structure as graphene, have been donned the materials of the future for their wide range of potential applications in biomedicine, sensors, catalysts, photodetectors and energy storage devices.

Graphene-White Graphene Combination Shown to Improve Self-Sensing Properties of Ceramics

A ceramic that turns less electrically conductive when subjected to plastic strain and more conductive under elastic strain could open the door for a new generation of sensors that can be integrated into structures such as bridges, buildings, and aircraft with the ability to monitor their own health.

Study Shows Graphene Crinkles Could Pave Way for New Type of Controlled Molecular Self-Assembly

Ten years ago, researchers observed that dumping buckyballs—carbon molecules resembling soccer balls—onto a specific type of multilayer graphene resulted in a flat carbon nanomaterial, which is a relatively unusual phenomenon.

A New Approach to Create Waterproof Graphene-Based Sensors

The electrical resistance of graphene—a two-dimensional (2D) material—is generally distorted by water molecules, but now a group of European researchers has reported that contact resistance is not affected by humidity when graphene is incorporated with the metal of a circuit.

Researchers Create Large, Stable Pieces of Graphene with Zigzag Edge Pattern

Graphene is a favorable material for application in nanoelectronics. But its electronic properties rely significantly on how the edges of the carbon layer are developed. Zigzag patterns are especially fascinating in this respect, but thus far, it has been nearly impossible to produce edges with a pattern like this.
