Ice-Resistant, Graphene-Based Material Could Prove Suitable for Extreme Environments

Researchers at Rice University have developed a graphene-based de-icer to provide dual purpose. The novel material continues to melt ice from wings and wires when it becomes too cold. However, if the air is above 7°F, ice would not form at all.

Viennese Scientists Resolve Graphene’s Quantum Effects

The discovery of wonder material graphene was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010. The material contains a layer of carbon atoms set in a honeycomb lattice. However, the study of graphene did not stop at this point. New fascinating properties of graphene are still being discovered. Now, an international group of scientists have described the strange behavior of electrons passing through thin constrictions in a layer of graphene. These findings have been published in the Nature Communications journal.

Flexible, Self-Healing Material Could Improve Durability of Wearable Electronics

Electronic materials are the main tentative block for the development of flexible electronics as current materials do not work properly once broken and healed. An international team of researchers developed a new electronic material, which can heal all of its functions spontaneously even after being broken numerous times. This material can increase the strength of wearable electronics.
