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.
Highly miniaturized pressure sensors have been fabricated by scientists at The University of Manchester with the help of graphene membranes capable of detecting small changes in pressure with high sensitivity, over an extensive range of operating pressures.
An international team of researchers has used a graphene-based composite material and found a new route to ultra-low-power transistors.
Graphene, considered to be the world's first two-dimensional material, is several times stronger than steel, and more conductive than copper, besides being flexible, lightweight and one million times thinner than a strand of human hair.
According to Rice University engineers, pillared graphene would convey heat better if the theoretical material had a few asymmetric junctions that produced wrinkles.
Scientists from the Chalmers University of Technology have developed a flexible detector that can be used in teraHertz frequencies, or at frequencies of 1000 GHz. They achieved this by using graphene transistors on plastic substrates.
