Pablo Jarillo-Herrero, the Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Physics at MIT, delivered the 2022 Mildred S. Dresselhaus lecture on magic-angle graphene and the rise of moiré quantum matter.

European Union EU Observatory for Nanomaterials EUON announced December 7 2022 publication of June 2022 report by European Chemicals Agency ECHA entitled Assessment of the potential impact of graphene, graphene oxide and other 2D materials on health and the environment.

A crystal’s shape is determined by its inherent chemistry, a characteristic that ultimately determines its final form from the most basic of details. But sometimes the lack of symmetry in a crysta ...

An ambitious partnership between The University of Manchester and Abu Dhabi-based Khalifa University of Science and Technology has been agreed with the aim to deliver a funding boost to graphene innovation that will help tackle the planet’s big challenges.Professor Dame Nancy Rothwell, President & Vice-Chancellor of The University of Mancheste...

Researchers developed a technique to effectively measure the thermal expansion coefficient of two-dimensional materials. With this information, engineers could more effectively and efficiently use these atomically-thin materials to develop next-generation electronic devices that can perform better and run faster than those built with conventional materials.

Atomically thin 2D materials for applications in microelectronics or nanotechnology are grown by breaking down gas on a hot metal surface. Due to the high temperatures and rapid transformation of ...

Surrey University researchers have performed quantum calculations that have allowed scientists to discover new phases of a two-dimensional material that could be used to develop fuel-cells devices.

Writing in Nature Communications, a team led by Dr Marcelo Lozada-Hidalgo based at the National Graphene Institute (NGI) used graphene as an electrode to measure both the electrical force applied on water molecules and the rate at which these break in response to such force. The researchers found that water breaks exponentially faster in respons...

Pioneering scientists and engineers from The University of Manchester are looking to build a future in space through innovation in advanced materials and autonomous systems - including revolutionary concepts in space habitats and the trustworthy robots to help build them.In the UK, the space sector is worth over £16.4 billion per year and emplo...

There’s still plenty of room at the bottom to generate piezoelectricity. Engineers at Rice University and their colleagues are showing the way. A new study describes the discovery of piezoelectri ...
