Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A nanomaterial capable of being used to tackle several global challenges can be developed further without posing a risk to human ...

Inventor Thomas Edison is known for being ahead of his time, and a new study could add another notch to his overachieving belt. Researchers at Rice University suggest Edison may have inadvertently ...

Combining hydrogen with ultrathin graphene may be the key to producing semiconductors that pick up where silicon leaves off. Researchers have demonstrated that a single-atom-thick layer of hydrogen ...

Graphene, a “wonder material” that could help solve some of humanity’s deepest problems, has cleared a major hurdle towards practical uses. Graphene is the world’s thinnest, super-strong and ...

Researchers at Berkeley Lab, using a trio of single-atom-thick wonder materials -- graphene, boron nitride, and molybdenite -- have created the first all-2D field-effect transistor. This FET could ...

Lying on your back in a big hospital scanner, as still as you can, with your arms above your head – for 45 minutes. It doesn't sound much fun. That's what patients at Royal Brompton Hospital in London ...

Hailed as a “wonder material” that could replace plastics, silicon and synthetic diamonds, the scientific community has gone bonkers for graphene, an incredibly light and strong carbon-based material ...

In July, scientists at the University of Darmstadt in Germany succeeded in stopping light completely inside a crystal. Some rays of light (in this case from a laser) were barreling along at the ...

Researchers report record-high magnetoresistance that appears in graphene under ambient conditions. In a paper published in Nature this week (13 Apr 2023), researchers from The University of ...

Researchers have incorporated phosphorene nanoribbons into new types of solar cells, dramatically improving their efficiency. Phosphorene nanoribbons (PNRs) are ribbon-like strands of the 2D material ...

Carefully controlled inhalation of a specific type of graphene – the world’s thinnest, super strong and super flexible material – has no short-term adverse effects on lung or cardiovascular function, ...
