The dispute over the origins of terahertz photoresponse in graphene results in a draw

Researchers at the Russia-based MIPT, MSPU and the University of Manchester revealed the mechanisms leading to photocurrent in graphene under terahertz radiation. The paper is said to put an end to a long-lasting debate about the origins of direct current in graphene...

Graphene and hBN used to create unique 2D quantum bits

Two novel 2D materials, graphene and hexagonal boron nitride, and the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope – these were the ingredients used to create a novel kind of a so-called “quantum dot”. These extremely small nanostructures allow delicate control of...

Graphene oxide is detected in the body by specialized cells of the immune system

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, the University of Manchester and Chalmers University of Technology have shown that the human immune system handles graphene oxide in a manner similar to pathogens, possibly leading to safer biomedical applications in the...
