Visualize a material as lightweight and flexible as foil that turns hard and stiff enough to stop a bullet on impact. In a recently published paper in Nature Nanotechnology, researchers across The City University of New York (CUNY) report a process for making diamene: flexible, layered sheets of graphene that become harder than diamond and impenetrable upon impact on a temporary basis.
Graphene Flagship scientists, led by researchers at ICFO - The Institute of Photonic Sciences in Barcelona, Spain, have detected graphene’s out-of-plane heat transfer in van der Waals heterostructures.
As part of a successful partnership between the Graphene Flagship and the European Space Agency, studies investigating graphene for two disparate space-related uses have demonstrated exceptionally propitious outcomes. Depending upon these outcomes, the Flagship are constantly striving to create graphene devices for application in space.
Researchers at Columbia Engineering, who are experts at controlling matter at the nanoscale, have made a vital discovery in physics and materials science.
A group of researchers from the Graphene Flagship has predicted and demonstrated a giant spin anisotropy in graphene – the single-atom-thick allotrope of carbon – and associated materials (GRMs) such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). This latest development paves the way for new spintronic logic devices.
A Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) researcher has been taking part in the development of a technique that establishes the density of defects in two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials because of measurements of spatial coherence of light that strike them.
Although transistors developed by using carbon nanostructures seem to be a distant dream, they can become actuality in the near future. An international team of scientists in collaboration with Empa has at present been successful in developing nanotransistors by using graphene ribbons with a width of just few atoms.
In the pursuit of miniaturization, researchers from the Center for Integrated Nanostructure Physics of the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), in South Korea, have partnered with researchers at the University of Birmingham and at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) to create flat lenses with the thickness of a credit card and with adjustable features.
At the end of a long time spent in working hard in the labs, this week, scientists from the Graphene Flagship are gearing up for conducting two experiments for investigating the use of graphene technologies for space-related applications in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA).
Ultrathin graphene-oxide membranes capable of filtering whisky to make it as clear as water have been developed by researchers at the University of Manchester.
