Laser shockwaves convert carbon nanotube films into multilayer graphene without external heating, boosting thermal conductivity sevenfold in a single chemical-free step. Why not simply use graphene ...

(Nanowerk News) Rice University researchers have found that fracture-resistant “rebar graphene” is more than twice as tough as pristine graphene. Graphene is a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon. On the ...

As countries go, you might say that Luxembourg punches above its weight. One of the smallest countries in the world, it’s also one of the richest, thanks to a thriving financial sector. It’s about to ...

Nanotechnology is able to unlock thousands of hectares of land previously restricted for wind farm construction, increasing the potential for green power generation globally. A recently developed ...

As transistor scaling approaches physical and economic limits, interconnect performance has become a dominant factor in overall integrated circuit speed, power consumption and reliability.

The autoclave has long defined thermoset composites processing — snap-cure epoxy prepreg systems are built around the premise that it doesn't have to.

Twenty years ago this October, two physicists at the University of Manchester, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, published a groundbreaking paper on the "electric field effect in atomically thin ...

GNRs can be synthesized through top-down or bottom-up methods, each providing precise control over their structure and enabling their use in advanced nanoelectronics and spintronics. GNRs are created ...

Researchers at the University of Turku, Finland, have succeeded in producing sensors from single-wall carbon nanotubes that could enable major advances in health care, such as continuous health ...

GNRs are one-dimensional strips of graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice. Unlike graphene sheets, which extend indefinitely in two dimensions, ...
