  • Innovation could bring flexible solar cells, transistors, displays


    - ScienceDaily: Graphene News
    Researchers have created a new type of transparent electrode that might find uses in solar cells, flexible displays for computers and consumer electronics and future "optoelectronic" circuits for sensors and information processing.

  • New technique may open up an era of atomic-scale semiconductor devices


    - ScienceDaily: Graphene News
    Researchers have developed a new technique for creating high-quality semiconductor thin films at the atomic scale -- meaning the films are only one atom thick. The technique can be used to create these thin films on a large scale, sufficient to coat wafers that are two inches wide, or larger.

  • Opening doors to foldable electronics with inkjet-printed graphene


    - ScienceDaily: Graphene News
    Imagine a bendable tablet computer or an electronic newspaper that could fold to fit in a pocket. The technology for these devices may not be so far off, thanks to new research.

  • Advance in nanotech gene sequencing technique


    - ScienceDaily: Graphene News
    The allure of personalized medicine has made new, more efficient ways of sequencing genes a top research priority. One promising technique involves reading DNA bases using changes in electrical current as they are threaded through a nanoscopic hole. Now, physicists has used solid-state nanopores to differentiate single-stranded DNA molecules containing sequences of a single repeating base.Bacteria use hydrogen, carbon dioxide to produce electricity
    - ScienceDaily: Graphene News
    Researchers have engineered a strain of electricity-producing bacteria that can grow using hydrogen gas as its sole electron donor and carbon dioxide as its sole source of carbon.

  • Stacking 2-D materials produces surprising results


    - ScienceDaily: Graphene News
    New experiments reveal previously unseen effects, could lead to new kinds of electronics and optical devices.

  • Add boron for better batteries


    - ScienceDaily: Graphene News
    A graphene-boron compound is theoretically capable of storing double the energy of common graphite anodes used in lithium-ion batteries.

  • First direct proof of Hofstadter butterfly fractal observed in moiré superlattices


    - ScienceDaily: Graphene News
    Scientists have directly observed a rare quantum effect that produces a repeating butterfly-shaped energy spectrum, confirming the longstanding prediction of this quantum fractal energy structure called Hofstadter's butterfly.
