Two-step thermal reduction process boosts conductivity and mobility of reduced graphene oxide (RGO), opening up new potential applications.
Solar power device like a double-glazed window offers new approach.
Batteries powered by sweat made completely from fabric
Glassy carbon is lightweight, ultrastrong, very hard, elastic, and electrically conductive and is ideal for military armor and aerospace applications.
A 2D tungsten ditelluride bilayer develops a spontaneous electrical polarization that allows it to undergo ‘ferroelectric switching’.
Nanowires could help restore impaired neurological functions involved in vision and movement
Fire-resistant wallpaper based on inorganic nanowires and graphene oxide (GO) thermal sensors sounds an alarm in the event of fire.
Scientists have discovered that tiny distortions in the crystal lattice of iron pnictide help it to enter a superconducting state as it's cooled.
Researchers have developed a way to embed high-speed optoelectronic semiconductor devices within fibers, which can then be woven into fabrics.
Quantum computing could benefit from the finding that electrons can be trapped between graphene nanoribbons with different topologies,
Novel all-solid-state batteries based on thin films benefit from low resistance at the interface between the electrode and the solid electrolyte.
Scientists have discovered that cuprates seem to carry electric current in an entirely different way to conventional metals such as copper.
Researchers have found that ‘rebar graphene’, in which graphene is reinforced with carbon nanotubes, is more than twice as tough as pristine graphene.
