More than a century before graphene was isolated in a modern lab, Thomas Edison may have been unknowingly making the wonder material inside his early light bulbs. New experiments suggest that the ...

According to new research from Rice University, while Edison’s goal was simply to create a longer-lasting electric lamp, the ...

To reproduce what Thomas Edison did, with the tools and knowledge we have now, is very exciting,” said co-author James Tour, ...

Vertical graphene microstructures break the thickness-performance tradeoff in thermoacoustic speakers, enabling flexible ...

Researchers show hafnium stannide can host graphene-like electron flow in a robust 3D structure, paving the way for scalable ...

With the increasing waste heat production by today’s electronics in ever smaller spaces, drawing this heat away quickly enough to prevent thermal throttling or damage is a major concern. This is where ...

A recent article in Scientific Reports detailed the characterization of disordered structures in graphene and monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) induced by low-energy argon ion irradiation. The ...

The number of graphene layers determines specific properties. Both single-layer and bi-layer graphenes are zero band gap semiconductors because of the association between conduction and the valance ...

Physicists have observed fractional quantum Hall effect in simple pentalayer graphene. The finding could make it easier to develop more robust quantum computers. The electron is the basic unit of ...
