Graphene is the most well-known member of the 2D materials family. It consists of a sheet of covalently bonded carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice with the thickness of a single atom. This unique ...

The precise control of micro-mechanical oscillators is fundamental to many contemporary technologies, from sensing and timing to radiofrequency filters in smartphones. Over the past decade, quantum ...

Graphene is the strongest of all materials. On top of that, it is exceptionally good at conducting heat and electrical currents, making it one of the most special and versatile materials we know. For ...

The nano-IR imaging set-up for studying the moiré graphene lattice. (Courtesy: G Ni) Researchers at the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) are the first to have used infrared nano-imaging to ...

Twist a stack of atom-thin carbon sheets by just the right amount and the material stops behaving like ordinary metal or ...

Researchers have finally solved the long-standing puzzle of why graphene is so much more permeable to protons than expected by theory. Researchers from The University of Warwick and the University of ...

Nevertheless, due to its special crystal lattice in the form of hexagons, graphene gains many unusual properties. For instance, it can be both a conductor and a semiconductor, which makes it sought ...

The excellent electrical properties of semi-metallic graphene have made it an irreplaceable material in many applications. Opening the band gap in graphene without compromising on its other ...
