On-surface synthesis of graphene nanoribbons could advance quantum devices
News 197Days Ago (12-03)Graphene is composed of single-atom-thick layers of carbon taking on ultralight, conductive and extremely strong mechanical characteristics. The popularly studied material holds promise to transform electronics and information science becau... -
New family of quasiparticles in graphene-based materials
News 222Days Ago (11-09)The team achieved this breakthrough by aligning the atomic lattice of a graphene layer to that of an insulating boron nitride sheet, dramatically changing the properties of the graphene sheet. The study follows years of successive advances... -
Chemists develop framework to enable efficient synthesis of 'information-dense' molecules
News 243Days Ago (10-18)Such molecules are often found in plants and other organisms, and many are considered desirable starting points for developing potential new drugs. But they also tend to be highly challenging for chemists to construct and modify in the lab... -
Room temperature conversion of CO2 to CO: A new way to synthesize hydrocarbons
News 276Days Ago (09-15)Although the researchers demonstrated this method in a small-scale, highly controlled environment with dimensions of just nanometers (billionths of a meter), they have already come up with concepts for scaling up the method and making it pr... -
Reliable quality-control of graphene and other 2D materials is routinely possible
News 293Days Ago (08-29)The greatest challenge for the design of these single-layer or 2D materials into all their myriad potential uses is the need for an atom-by-atom perfection and uniformity that can be difficult and painstaking to achieve at such small scales...
