New Method Offers Control of Strain on Graphene Membranes
Graphene could be the superhero of materials – it’s light, strong and conducts heat and electricity effectively, which makes it a great material for potential…
Stay Calm with Domino
Drugs such as sedatives, hypnotics, and anticonvulsants often contain a benzodiazepine moiety. They are useful in the treatment of, for example, anxiety,…
Glowing White
The future will be dominated by organic electronics, as opposed to current silicon-based technology. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, an international team of…
Barrier to faster graphene devices identified and suppressed
This single-atom-thick honeycomb of carbon atoms is lighter than aluminum, stronger than steel and conducts heat and electricity better than copper. As a…
Student Innovation at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Could Enable Better, Cheaper Detection of Hazardous Gases
Fazel Yavari has developed a new sensor to detect extremely small quantities of hazardous gases. Made from a 3-D foam of the world’s thinnest material, graphene, this sensor is durable, inexpensive to make, and opens the door to a new generation of gas detectors for use by bomb squads, defense and law enforcement officials, as well as applications in industrial settings….
The origin of organic magnets
Electrical engineers are starting to consider materials made from organic molecules—including those made from carbon atoms—as an intriguing alternative to the…
