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, ...

Illustrating showing Thomas Edison holding graphene on the left and a man with safety goggles holding a large blue crystal on the right Crystal craze: Fortuitous experiments led to graphene in a ...

Engineers have discovered an unexpected link between two very different realms of physics: the behavior of electrons in ...

Researchers at UNSW have discovered a new way to make graphene, a remarkable "wonder material," using just discarded peanut ...

The electronic and magnetic properties of two-dimensional materials both have strong potential for technological applications. Researchers have long assumed that they are distinct phenomena, but ...

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 ...

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 has many fantastic properties that could change the course of human civilization. It's chemically stable, highly conductive, and incredibly strong. One thing it is not, however, is magnetic.

Graphene has been very hot in scientific circles since it was first produced in 2004. This one-atom thick layer of carbon has been found to have such remarkable properties that its discoverers were ...
