Graphene is one of the most remarkable materials ever discovered – a nearly two-dimensional sheet of carbon just one atom ...

Scientists have developed a new way to improve the lifespan of zinc-ion batteries, offering a safer and more sustainable option for energy storage. (Nanowerk News) Scientists from the National ...

A research team at the Institute of Science Tokyo has developed a new computational approach to assess the mechanical behaviour of graphene nanosheets. The technique enables direct measurement of ...

The new technique combines Helfrich theory of membrane bending and molecular dynamic simulations, allowing direct evaluation of the bending rigidity of graphene nanosheets without requiring ...

The excellent electrical properties of semi-metallic graphene have made it an irreplaceable material in many applications. Opening the band gap in graphene without compromising on its other ...

Japanese battery innovators are racing to solve the slow‑charging bottleneck that still frustrates drivers and device makers, ...

A milestone in graphene research: Chemists have succeeded in controlling the passage of halide ions by deliberately introducing defects into a two-layer nanographene system. Their paper shows new ...

Graphene is an extremely thin, flexible and resistant material made of pure carbon. It forms layers that consist of virtually a single layer of carbon atoms. To make graphene as thick as a human hair, ...

Graphene might be the wonder kid of the materials world but other 2D nanosheets also show great promise for novel applications, says Belle Dumé New dimensions Heterostructures based on 2D atomic ...

Using a magnetic field sensor (red arrow) inside a diamond needle, researchers at ETH imaged electron vortices in a graphene layer (blue). When an ordinary electrical conductor – such as a metal wire ...
