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.

Critical Step Towards Development of New Nanotechnologies that Integrate Light with Electronics

Heterostructures formed by different three-dimensional semiconductors form the foundation for modern electronic and photonic devices. Now, University of Washington scientists have successfully combined two different ultrathin semiconductors — each just one layer of atoms thick and roughly 100,000 times thinner than a human hair — to make a new two-dimensional heterostructure with potential uses in clean energy and optically-active electronics. The team, led by Boeing Distinguished Associate Professor Xiaodong Xu, announced its findings in a paper published Feb. 12 in the journal Science.

Novel Carbon Thin Film Deposition Method Provides Energy Storage Capability to Microchips

After more than half a decade of speculation, fabrication, modeling and testing, an international team of researchers led by Drexel University’s Yury Gogotsi, PhD , and Patrice Simon, PhD, of Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse, France, have confirmed that their process for making carbon films and micro-supercapacitors will allow microchips and their power sources to become one and the same.

Nanolaser Developed by TUM Physicists Helps Cost-Effectively Fabricate High-Performance Photonic Components

Physicists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a nanolaser, a thousand times thinner than a human hair. Thanks to an ingenious process, the nanowire lasers grow right on a silicon chip, making it possible to produce high-performance photonic components cost-effectively. This will pave the way for fast and efficient data processing with light in the future.

Researchers Use Linac Coherent Light Source to Image Exploding Nanoparticles

Photographers capture high-speed motion using cameras with a split-second shutter speed feature. Similar to these photographers, scientists examine very small materials using specific instruments, which are capable of seeing changes that occur in the blink of an eye.

Novel Method Could Lead to Mass Production of Nanogap Electrodes

The next generation of electronics, as well as ultra-sensitive medical diagnostics, could depend on near atomic scale cracks — or nanogaps — in electrodes. Now, researchers at Sweden's KTH Royal Institute of Technology have developed a method that could pave the way for mass production of nanogap electrodes.
