Since its discovery in 2004, this single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb structure has demonstrated a remarkable combination of characteristics that set it apart from any other known ...

For industrial-scale applications, a delicate balance must exist between graphene quality and production cost. As diverse applications demand varied graphene properties, customizing graphene films to ...

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 ...

Ordinary pencil lead holds extraordinary properties when shaved down to layers as thin as an atom. A single, atom-thin sheet of graphite, known as graphene, is just a tiny fraction of the width of a ...

Twenty years ago this October, two physicists at the University of Manchester, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, published a groundbreaking paper on the "electric field effect in atomically thin ...

It has long been known that graphene has excellent electronic properties. However, it was unclear until now how stable these properties are. Are they destroyed by disturbances and additional effects, ...

Graphene-enhanced plastics introduced by Brazilian nanotechnology company Gerdau Graphene promise to bring greater overall performance at a reduced cost compared with conventional materials while ...

Portugal lab builds a graphene coating that could make warplanes hard to detect. Can this radar-absorbing material fool ...
