Giant Spin Anisotropy in Graphene Could Pave the Way for New Spintronic Logic Devices

A group of researchers from the Graphene Flagship has predicted and demonstrated a giant spin anisotropy in graphene – the single-atom-thick allotrope of carbon – and associated materials (GRMs) such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). This latest development paves the way for new spintronic logic devices.

Researchers Improve Supercapacitance of VGNs by Using Hybrid Electrolyte

Supercapacitors have the ability to store more energy than batteries and are favored in the place of batteries due to their potential to charge quickly, largely because of the vertical graphene nanosheets (VGNs) that are huge and located close to each other.

Researchers Move Closer to Making Nanotransistors by Using Graphene

Although transistors developed by using carbon nanostructures seem to be a distant dream, they can become actuality in the near future. An international team of scientists in collaboration with Empa has at present been successful in developing nanotransistors by using graphene ribbons with a width of just few atoms.

Managing Noise and Crosstalk in CNT Interconnects by Using Semiconducting CNTs

In the immediate future, a main origin of reliability troubles in carbon nanotube (CNT)-based VLSI interconnects may be noise and crosstalk. Maintenance of signal integrity in integrated circuits (ICs) has been difficult due to the reduction of the size of components in IC to nanometer scale, in addition to high-density integration.
