New Technique Scales Up Production of Graphene Micro-Supercapacitors
February 20, 2013 While the demand for ever-smaller electronic devices has spurred the miniaturization of a variety of technologies, one area has lagged behind in this downsizing revolution: energy-storage units, such ... > full story -
Engineers Show Feasibility of Superfast Materials: 'Organic Topological Insulators' for Quantum Computing
February 13, 2013 Engineers demonstrated it is feasible to build the first organic materials that conduct electricity on their edges, but act as an insulator inside. These materials, called organic topological ... > full story -
Large Scale Production of Edge-Functionalized Graphene Nanoplatelets (EFGnPs)
February 12, 2013 Researchers have pioneered a simple, but efficient and eco-friendly way to produce Edge-selectively functionalized graphene nanoplatelets (EFGnPs) by dry ball milling graphite in the presence of ... > full story -
Cheap, Strong Lithium-Ion Battery Developed
February 12, 2013 Researchers have developed a new lithium-ion battery design that uses porous silicon nanoparticles in place of the traditional graphite anodes to provide superior ... > full story -
Scientists Create 'Building Block' of Quantum Networks
February 7, 2013 A proof-of-concept device that could pave the way for on-chip optical quantum networks has been created by a group of researchers. The device has been described as the "building block of future ... > full story -
Light-Emitting Nano Triangles May Have Applications in Optical Technology
February 5, 2013 For the first time, scientists have created single layers of a naturally occurring rare mineral called tungstenite, which they have used to produce a sheet of stacked sulfur and tungsten atoms with ... > full story -
New Findings on the Structure of Graphite Oxides in Alcohols
February 5, 2013 The structure of graphite oxide surprisingly expands when cooled in methanol or ethanol. Also, graphite oxide selectively absorbs methanol from water-methanol mixtures. Two new studies by physicists ... > full story -
Routes Towards Defect-Free Graphene
February 1, 2013 A new way of growing graphene without the defects that weaken it and prevent electrons from flowing freely within it could open the way to large-scale manufacturing of graphene-based devices with ... > full story -
Flat Boron by the Numbers: Researchers Calculate What It Would Take to Make New Two-Dimensional Material
January 31, 2013 Physicists detail several possible routes to the creation of two-dimensional sheets of boron. They say such sheets would be more conductive than graphene and thus useful in electronic ... > full story -
Giant Carbon Molecules for Sustainable Technologies
January 31, 2013 Scientists in the joint research project "FUNgraphen" are pinning their hopes for new technologies on a particular form of carbon: They have developed new carbon macromolecules and molecular carbon ... > full story
