Concrete has quietly become one of the planet’s biggest climate problems, yet it remains the backbone of modern cities and ...

According to new research from Rice University, while Edison’s goal was simply to create a longer-lasting electric lamp, the ...

More than a century before graphene was isolated in a modern lab, Thomas Edison may have been unknowingly making the wonder ...

A recent article in Scientific Reports detailed the characterization of disordered structures in graphene and monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) induced by low-energy argon ion irradiation. The ...

Nanocellular graphene (NCG) is a specialized form of graphene that achieves a large specific surface area by stacking multiple layers of graphene and controlling its internal structure with a ...

Scientists are exploring how graphene-based materials could help solve one of the most pressing environmental challenges of ...

A layered form of graphene shows a rare semimetal state with balanced electrons and holes that becomes a topological insulator when exposed to moderate magnetic fields. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Semimetals ...

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 ...

Physicists have observed fractional quantum Hall effect in simple pentalayer graphene. The finding could make it easier to develop more robust quantum computers. The electron is the basic unit of ...
