The search for materials that combine high performance with environmental responsibility has led researchers ...

Scientists have developed a new laser-made silicon-graphene anode that delivers lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries with ...

EU project develops 3D-printed graphene foams from renewable materials as sustainable damping and lightweight solutions for ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered a surprising mathematical connection between two areas of condensed ...

With the increasing waste heat production by today’s electronics in ever smaller spaces, drawing this heat away quickly enough to prevent thermal throttling or damage is a major concern. This is where ...

A recent article in Scientific Reports detailed the characterization of disordered structures in graphene and monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) induced by low-energy argon ion irradiation. The ...

The number of graphene layers determines specific properties. Both single-layer and bi-layer graphenes are zero band gap semiconductors because of the association between conduction and the valance ...

A layered form of graphene shows a rare semimetal state with balanced electrons and holes that becomes a topological insulator when exposed to moderate magnetic fields. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Semimetals ...

The electronic and magnetic properties of two-dimensional materials both have strong potential for technological applications. Researchers have long assumed that they are distinct phenomena, but ...

Physicists have observed fractional quantum Hall effect in simple pentalayer graphene. The finding could make it easier to develop more robust quantum computers. The electron is the basic unit of ...
