graphene

Graphene has been hailed as a wonder material which could potentially revolutionize the technology industry over the remainder of the 21st century due to its unique and valuable properties. So what are the intrinsic characteristics…

A team of researchers at the Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee has designed a supercapacitor made primarily of silicon that has shown much improved power density over its commercially available alternatives. The advance…

The Group of Photovoltaic and Optoelectronic Devices (DFO) at the Universitat Jaume I in Castella, led by the professor of Applied Physics Juan Bisquert, together with researchers from the University of Oxford, have created and…

Pressure makes diamonds, but according to recent findings, there may also be a much quicker, hassle-free way. A team of researchers at Stanford University has stumbled upon a new way of turning graphite (the material used for pencil…

In the year 2004, Andre Geim, a Dutch-British physicist discovered graphene, a two dimensional structure that exists in a three dimensional world. This discovery has baffled experts in material science, even the most experienced.…

Graphene is a crystallized form of carbon, much like diamonds, that has its carbon atoms arranged in a regular hexagonal pattern. This one atom thick layer of mineral graphite is light, strong and an excellent conductor of heat and…

The mission for the nanotechnology organization is to lead a revolution in technology and industry that benefits society. Now in its twelfth year, the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) continues to be the most intensive and…
