MIT physicists have taken a key step toward solving the puzzle of what leads electrons to split into fractions of themselves.

Scientists in Brazil have made the largest chemically synthesised graphene sheet ever reported. Graphene – single-atom-thick sheets of carbon – is a material that has seemed full of possibilities ...

The synthesis of single-atom layer versions of a range of atoms is currently all the hype, with graphene probably the most well-known example of this. These monolayers are found to have a range of ...

Single-atom catalysts are at the cutting edge of catalysis research ... In SACs, the catalytically active single atoms are anchored onto supports such as carbon, metal oxides, or graphene. This ...

Tuesday marked 20 years to the day since professors Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov were able to extract two-dimensional crystal graphene, a single atom thick, by essentially using sticky tape ...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded the University of Chicago a prestigious Centers for Chemical Innovation ...

Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in ... They repeated the peeling process until the graphite was one atom thick, then dissolved the tape away, leaving graphene.

In a recent study in Nature, scientists reported that moiré materials made from semiconductor materials can also be ...

Caltech researchers from campus and JPL have collaborated to devise a method for coating lithium-ion battery cathodes with graphene, extending the life and performance of these widely used ...

"The plan was to compare the reflected near-field signal we got for each domain, whereas most previous research on graphene looked only at a single twist angle, and never before with these 'moiré ...

Graphene is the name for a honeycomb sheet of carbon atoms. It is the strongest known material, yet it is also stretchy. It can conduct electricity 100x better than silicon and heat 10x better than ...

As reported previously, graphene is the thinnest material yet known, composed of a single layer of carbon atoms ... art-conservation purposes. The one-atom-thick material is transparent, adheres ...
