The prospect of building quick-acting, energy-efficient nanoscale devices from graphene-nanoribbon switches, spin-valves, and detectors

Researchers have taken the first atomic-resolution images and demonstrated electrical control of a chiral interface state – an exotic quantum phenomenon that

Cant wait for the next Star Trek movie?    Okay, this doesnt have Zoe Saldana but its still pretty terrific -  the first movie ever of carbon atoms moving along the edge of a graphene crystal.

Tracing Electrons in Organic Optoelectronic Materials Abstract: Organic semiconductors are appealing for optoelectronic devices like solar cells and lighting and displays due to their low fabrication cost and energy input, tunable band gaps, and mechanical characteristics like their light weight and flexibility. However, these materials made of ...

A technique that combines x-ray spectroscopy with scanning tunneling microscopy has delivered x-ray spectra of single atoms.

More than 90 years ago, physicist Eugene Wigner predicted that at low densities and cold temperatures, electrons that usually zip through materials would

Scientists capture real-time electrical activity of a beating heart using graphene camera Bay Area scientists have captured the real-time electrical activity of a beating heart, using a sheet of graphene to record an optical image -- almost like a video camera -- of the faint electric fields generated by the rhythmic firing of the hearts muscle cells. The graphene camera represents a new type of sensor useful for studying cells and tissues that generate electrical voltages, including groups of ...
