Types of graphene – Technological breakthrough guarantees production of high quality graphene. Due to the discovery of more graphene applications, the University of Pennsylvania has established a small research company named “Graphene Frontiers” to provide technological solutions for production of quality graphene. This body was awarded 0.744 million dollars in …
Graphene the perfect material for a Lunar Elevator Scientists at Columbia University conducted a study which revealed that graphene retains most of its mechanical properties even when it has been stitched together from small fragments. This discovery may have been the first step toward large scale manufacture of carbon nanotubes, …
3D printing of DNA – Transmission Electron Microscopy Researchers have developed a graphene liquid cell that can be used together with the conventional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to view ‘soft materials’ in three-dimensional. The term ‘soft materials’ refers to a number of things, including biological compounds such as protein, plastics, DNA, flexible …
Graphene and Silicon Work Great Together Given the impending bottleneck of supply in indium tin oxide, a material currently used as a transparent conducting film, researchers are now focusing their attention on graphene as a cheaper alternative since it has ideal properties for this purpose. Photo-voltaic manufacturers have taken little …
Graphene Oxide We will soon retrieve data from a broken device, thanks to graphene oxide’s refractive index and fluorescence that can be manipulated. A new material promises the possibility of recovering data even from a broken device. Graphene, the ‘wonderful material’ has unique properties that include; unmatched strength, flexibility, lightness, …
Graphene, the leader in optical chips world Recently, researchers were able to use graphene in the manufacture of a photodetector that enabled an optical chip. For some time now, graphene’s numerous promising characteristics have enticed researchers into exploring ways in which they can use it to make photodetector applications. While …
Carbon nanotubes Over the last four decades, we have been envisioning the end to the use of silicon as a semiconductor in devices. Perhaps the end is near. Just what will replace silicon? The answer to that is a carbon nanotube. What are carbon nanotubes? These are tube-shaped carbon-made materials …
Graphene supercapacitor Energy storage is one field studied extensively today. While other areas of electronics have been rapidly advancing over the last few decades, there has always been an issue with storing energy that is not in used. A lot of discussions are ongoing on the best means of saving …
