Capturing infrared light with graphene-based nanostructures has been demonstrated by scientists from CIC nanoGUNE, in partnership with Graphenea and ICFO. When light combines with graphene’s charge oscillation, the result is a mixture of charge oscillations and light referred to as plasmon, which can be compressed into minute volumes that are millions times smaller than those present in traditional dielectric optical cavities.
Electrons are often knocked off when an atom is bombarded with a large amount of energy. This makes the atom chemically reactive, triggering higher destruction. This is the reason why radiation is considered to be hazardous, and why high-resolution imaging methods that utilize X-rays and energetic electron beams, can change or destroy the samples they investigate.
Some metal oxides can increase capacity and optimize the cycling performance of lithium-ion batteries, according to material scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). They produced three graphene metal oxide (GMO) nanocomposites and compared their electrochemical performance. What they determined was two of the nanocomposites were able to significantly improve reversible lithium storage capacity.
Cellular environment is a disorganized space, where the movement and quantity of proteins and molecules are found to be in continuous instability. The performance of a cell can be discovered by predicting the fluctuating depth of a process or protein. These predictions are difficult to pinpoint in the open system of a cell, where everything can appear in a chaotic manner.
Researchers from Stanford University have developed a new technique that enables 3D imaging of tissues and cells under the skin in real time. This latest study has the potential to improve the diagnosis and treatment for blindness and certain forms of cancer.
Researchers from MIT and other institutions have discovered a new phenomenon of the behavior of plasmons (a kind of quasiparticle) as they move accross tiny ribbons of two-dimensional materials, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD). These materials possess a hexagonal structure similar to chicken wire.
Solar fuels are clean fuels harvested from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide, and they provide a way of storing solar energy, for instance in hydrogen or hydrocarbons. However efficiency is still a concern for this technology. Kasper Wenderich of the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology of the University of Twente has created special nanosized plates with platinum particles on them to speed up the chemical conversion. As part of his PhD thesis, he determined the reason why the reduced effect of these particles is lower than generally expected.
A simple and effective technique to extract graphene, and the contaminants and toxins they from water using light has been developed by researchers at Monash University. The research work is being published in Nanoscale, the journal of the Royal Society of Chemistry. The new findings could considerably influence large volume water purification.
Nano One Materials Corp. (“Nano One or the Company”) is pleased to announce the issuance of Taiwanese Patent No. 201207152 related to batteries utilizing the proprietary lithium mixed metal oxides developed by Nano One. The method for making the proprietary oxides is discussed in previously issued U.S. Patent Nos. 9,136,534 and 9,159,999.
An international team of scientists led by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has performed novel measurements of graphene's electrical response to synthetic air, exposing a distinct knowledge gap that needs to be bridged before the commercialisation of graphene-based gas sensors.
