Researchers Synthesize First Metal-Organic Framework Around Light-Powered Aluminum Nanocatalysts

Researchers Synthesize First Metal-Organic Framework Around Light-Powered Aluminum Nanocatalysts

Two years ago, when Hossein Robatjazi, a Rice University chemist and engineer, intended to combine a molecular sieve known as metal-organic framework (MOF) with a plasmonic aluminum nanoparticle, he never thought the outcome would be the same process used by nature to petrify wood.

Researchers Manage to Produce Devices with Stable Germanene

Researchers Manage to Produce Devices with Stable Germanene

Germanene is a 2D material that is obtained from germanium and is associated with graphene. Since it is unstable outside the vacuum chambers where it is developed, no real measurements of its electronic properties have been performed.

Promising Steps Towards Large Scale Production of Graphene Nanoribbons for Electronics

Promising Steps Towards Large Scale Production of Graphene Nanoribbons for Electronics

Two-dimensional sheets of graphene in the form of ribbons a few tens of nanometers across have unique properties that are highly interesting for use in future electronics. Researchers have now for the first time fully characterized nanoribbons grown in both the two possible configurations on the same wafer with a clear route towards upscaling the production.
