Researchers Develop Chiral Graphene Stacks to Produce Atomic-Scale Large Area Films

Non-superimposable mirror images of each other, such as hands and feet, are referred to as chiral objects. One image is clearly right-handed, and the other is left-handed. A ball and a basic drinking glass are some examples of achiral objects, which means the object and its mirror image look the same.

Insertion of Calcium Atoms Causes Graphene to Exhibit Superconductivity

Graphene is a single-atomic carbon sheet with a hexagonal honeycomb network. Graphene’s electrons take a unique electronic state, referred to as Dirac-cone, where they like they have no mass. This enables them to move rapidly, and gives graphene a high electrical conductivity. The flow of electrons without mass and resistance in graphene is significant as it demonstrates potential for a futuristic high-speed nanoelectronic device.

Common Glass Improves Graphene's Electronic Properties

Graphene combines transparency, electrical conductivity, and high durability into a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon. Even though graphene is known to be a "wonder material," it has still not been successful in industrial and commercial processes and products.

New Study Suggests Graphene Sheets Efficiently Shield Chemical Interactions

A collaborative research proposed that graphene sheets are capable of effectively shielding chemical interactions. This occurrence holds promise for applications such as the quality improvement of 2D materials by "de-charging" charged defect centers located on the surface of carbon materials. The ability to control the selectivity and activity of the supported metallic catalysts on the carbon substrate is another key feature.
