With the increasing waste heat production by today’s electronics in ever smaller spaces, drawing this heat away quickly enough to prevent thermal throttling or damage is a major concern. This is where ...

Graphene has been referred to as the 21st-century "wonder" material due to its unique properties, two-dimensional structure and broad applications. However, one of the significant barriers to the ...

Experts at manipulating matter at the nanoscale have made an important breakthrough in physics and materials science. They have engineered "artificial graphene" by recreating, for the first time, the ...

Making big things out of the world's strongest material has been the goal of materials engineers for the past few years. A team at MIT has figured out a way to do it, but along the way they made ...

Rice University researchers discovered that putting nanotube pillars between sheets of graphene could create hybrid structures with a unique balance of strength, toughness and ductility throughout all ...

Scientists report successfully stacking three sheets of graphene and then twisting each of them at a magic angle to produce a three-layered structure that is not only capable of superconductivity but ...

HOUSTON - (July 15, 2015) - Three-dimensional structures of boron nitride might be the right stuff to keep small electronics cool, according to scientists at Rice University. Rice researchers Rouzbeh ...

It's incredibly strong and has unique electrical, thermal, optical, and chemical properties, but in some ways Graphene's two-dimensional structure makes it a bit like the laser was in the 1960s – a ...

(Nanowerk News) The assembly of graphene and other emerging two-dimensional (2D) materials into cellular structures can avoid intersheet restack and retain their outstanding intrinsic properties, ...

The number of graphene layers determines specific properties. Both single-layer and bi-layer graphenes are zero band gap semiconductors because of the association between conduction and the valance ...

Graphene has potential applications in the energy sector, including energy storage, solar panels, fuel cells, batteries, and thermal management due to its high conductivity, transparency, surface area ...
