graphene

There’s been a push for the last decade to synthesize graphyne, but success to date was limited. New research from the University of Colorado Boulder published in Nature Synthesis, however, has the potential to open new possibilities for…

In a recent study, researchers synthesized 2D cuprous Iodide stabilized in a graphene sandwich—and the material does not exist in normal laboratory conditions. The new material was born using the large interlayer spacing of oxidized…

Researchers at Graphene Flagship Partners and Associate Members have demonstrated that graphene can be used to produce ultrahigh density hard disk drives (HDD).

Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) feature interesting physical, electrical, thermal, and optical properties because of the interplay between their crystal and electronic structures. These characteristics have pushed them to the forefront in the…

Professor Federico Rosei of the Institut National de la Recherché Scientifique (INRS) collaborated with international researchers to modify graphene properties for use in electronics applications. The study results were recently published…

The “super material” known as graphene, first created in 2004, is stronger than steel, highly flexible, and the best conductor of electricity yet. Its impacts on and applications for transportation, medicine, electronics, energy, defense,…

In 2012, the global market for graphene, driven by R&D in semiconductor, electronics, and composites, was $9 million. As new uses for and qualities of graphene are discovered, the global market was expected to reach $150 million by…

The advantages of solid composite polymer electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries are numerous: low flammability, good flexibility, extreme thermal stability and greater safety than liquid electrolytes. Recently a team of Brown University…

Superconductivity, which in theory allows electrical energy to be transferred between two points with perfect efficiency, losing nothing to heat, will allow us to save huge amounts of energy and create ever-smaller circuits for confined…

Graphene, the single-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms, is particularly promising for semiconductor manufacture that will permit electronic devices to continue to shrink while using less energy. Graphene’s structural defects enhance the…
