MIT Researchers Develop Method to Produce Highly Conductive, Wrinkle-Free, Single-Domain Graphene at Wafer Scale

Just like in a hair-raising thrill ride, electrons can move through graphene. Scientists have been aware for years that electrons can blitz through graphene close to the speed of light, much faster than they can move through silicon and other semiconducting materials.

New Layered Material Could Help Develop Reduced Graphene Oxide-Based Transistors

A research team at North Carolina State University (NC State) has developed a new method for changing positively charged (p-type) reduced graphene oxide (rGO) into negatively charged (n-type) rGO. The resultant layered material can be employed to develop rGO-based transistors, which can be used in electronic devices.

Researchers Working Towards Use of Nanomagnets for Future Data Storage

If only one atom or small molecule was necessary for a single unit of data (a zero or a one as in binary digital technology), enormous volumes of data could be stored in the smallest amount of space.

Stanford Team Builds Nano Devices Capable of Enduring Extreme Environments in Space and on Earth

Venus has a very hot surface hidden behind its thick swirling clouds. The planet is pelted with sulfuric acid rains, and has a temperature of 480 °C, which would burn any of the electronics used currently on Earth. This creates a huge challenge for researchers hoping to explore this extreme environment.
