Boron nitride assists in protecting graphene in order to achieve next-gen electronics

Researchers from AMO, Oxford Instruments, Cambridge University, RWTH Aachen University and the University of Wuppertal have demonstrated a new method to use plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) on graphene without introducing defects into the graphene...
Graphene oxide foam helps filter toxins from drinking water

Graphene oxide foam helps filter toxins from drinking water

MIT-led research team uses graphene oxide foam in a device that can extract uranium and other heavy metals from tap water.Some kinds of water pollution, such as algal blooms and plastics that foul various bodies of water, are found in plain sight. However, other...

Researchers use 3D printing to make graphene aerogel flow-through electrodes for electrochemical reactors

Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) are 3D printing graphene aerogel flow-through electrodes (FTEs), core components of electrochemical reactors used for converting CO2 and other molecules to useful products.Benefiting from the design freedom...
Graphene-diamond junctions could assist in the realization of neuromorphic optical computers simulating human visual memory systems

Graphene-diamond junctions could assist in the realization of neuromorphic optical computers simulating human visual memory systems

Researchers from Nagoya University in Japan have designed highly efficient computing devices using graphene-diamond junctions that mimic some of the human brain’s functions.A phenomenon crucial for memory and learning is “synaptic plasticity,” the...

‘Magic angle’ trilayer graphene found to act as rare “spin-triplet” superconductor

Researchers at MIT and Harvard University have previously found that graphene can have exotic properties when situated at a ‘magic angle’. Now, a new study by some of the members of the same team shows that this material could also be a...
