Especially, high-quality large-scale continuous monolayer graphene has been successfully grown on Cu foils. This simple and low-cost method has been widely…
The researchers are presenting their work today at the 254th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS). ACS, the world's largest…
Members of the Faculties of Chemistry and Fundamental Physical and Chemical Engineering at the Lomonosov Moscow State University in collaboration with foreign…
We normally associate conduction of electricity with metals. However, some of the high measured conductivities are found in certain organic molecular crystals….
Since the discovery of the Nobel Prize winning material graphene, many new nanomaterials promise to deliver exciting new photonic and optoelectronic…
As graphene's popularity grows as an advanced “wonder” material, the speed and quality at which it can be manufactured will be paramount. With that in mind,…
Rice University materials scientists have created a light foam from two-dimensional sheets of hexagonal-boron nitride (h-BN) that absorbs carbon dioxide.
Anyone who has a rear-view mirror that automatically dims blue in reaction to annoying high-beam headlights glaring from behind has seen an electrochromic film…
A potential new state of matter is being reported in the journal Nature, with research showing that among superconducting materials in high magnetic fields,…
Published in Nature Communications this research, led by Professor Bart van Wees, University of Groningen, The Netherlands, reports a graphene-based device in…
Rice University researchers have learned to manipulate two-dimensional materials to design in defects that enhance the materials' properties.
Researchers have demonstrated, for the first time, that an optical analysis method can reveal weak areas in ceramic thermal barrier coatings that protect jet…
To move a nanoparticle on the surface of a graphene sheet, you won't need a “nano-arm”: by applying a temperature difference at the ends of the membrane, the…
Since the beginning of the 20th century, superconductivity had been observed in some metals at temperatures only a few degrees above the absolute zero (minus…
Raincoats, car windshields, waterproof phones: They all use a little chemistry to stay dry. Inspired by nature, chemists use extremely water-fearing, or…
Hybrid materials are those that combine components of differing origins (organic and inorganic) in order to obtain materials different from conventional ones…
