Nanometer-Thin, Light-Absorbing Graphene Sheet Holds Promise for Futuristic Smart Technologies

A recent study published in Science Advances reveals a method to manipulate graphene to create the world’s most light-absorbent material for its weight. The material is nanometer-thin and will facilitate futuristic applications such as 'smart wallpaper', which could produce electricity from waste heat or light, and power many applications within the increasing 'internet of things'.

Critical Step Towards Development of New Nanotechnologies that Integrate Light with Electronics

Heterostructures formed by different three-dimensional semiconductors form the foundation for modern electronic and photonic devices. Now, University of Washington scientists have successfully combined two different ultrathin semiconductors — each just one layer of atoms thick and roughly 100,000 times thinner than a human hair — to make a new two-dimensional heterostructure with potential uses in clean energy and optically-active electronics. The team, led by Boeing Distinguished Associate Professor Xiaodong Xu, announced its findings in a paper published Feb. 12 in the journal Science.

Nanolaser Developed by TUM Physicists Helps Cost-Effectively Fabricate High-Performance Photonic Components

Physicists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a nanolaser, a thousand times thinner than a human hair. Thanks to an ingenious process, the nanowire lasers grow right on a silicon chip, making it possible to produce high-performance photonic components cost-effectively. This will pave the way for fast and efficient data processing with light in the future.
