(Nanowerk News) Researchers at AIST, in collaboration with Osaka University, Tokyo Polytechnic University, Kyushu University, and National Tsing Hua University, have developed a technique to insert ...

Since its discovery in 2004, graphene has become a highly prized material in electronics applications owing to its unusual electronic structure. 1 Although graphene is only composed of carbon atoms, ...

Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with a resistance of zero. In so-called conventional superconductors, this occurs at low temperatures when electrons become bound into pairs, ...

Researchers at AIST have created a method to introduce alkali metals into the graphene interlayers, working with researchers from Osaka University, Tokyo Polytechnic University, Kyushu University, and ...

The new development in materials science comes from Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science. Here technologists and scientists have successfully manipulated matter at the ...

A recent review summarizes the progress made in graphene-semiconductor hybrid photodetectors over the past decade. It begins by introducing key photodetector performance indicators, providing the ...

(Nanowerk News) MIT physicists have metaphorically turned graphite, or pencil lead, into gold by isolating five ultrathin flakes stacked in a specific order. The resulting material can then be tuned ...
