Graphene could transform everything from electric cars to smartphones, but only if we can guarantee its quality. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers develop reliable method using transmission electron microscopy to verify graphene's single-atom thickness, ...

Graphene is a single-atom-thin material that can be exfoliated from the same graphite that is found in pencil lead. The ultrathin material is made entirely from carbon atoms that are arranged in a ...

It has long been known that graphene has excellent electronic properties. However, it was unclear until now how stable these properties are. Are they destroyed by disturbances and additional effects, ...

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 ...

Due to its high electron mobilities at ambient temperature and peculiar electronic behaviors like the quantum hall effect, which imitates massless transportation and results in high superconductivity, ...

Graphite is a naturally occurring form of carbon composed of carbon atom layers stacked on top of each other. These layers are loosely bonded, allowing them to slide past one another and giving ...

Schematic diagrams of graphene NEMS accelerometers. a 3D schematic of the proposed graphene NEMS accelerometer. b 3D schematic of the cross-section of the graphene NEMS accelerometer. c, d Schematics ...
