Researchers develop ultra-sensitive graphene-based lead detector
Scientists at the University of California San Diego have developed an ultra-sensitive graphene-based sensor that can detect extraordinarily low concentrations of lead ions in water. The device achieved a record limit of detection of lead down to the femtomolar...
Key dynamics of 2D nanomaterials: View to larger-scale production
A team of researchers mapped out how flecks of 2D materials move in liquid -- knowledge that could help scientists assemble macroscopic-scale materials with the same useful properties as their 2D counterparts.
Rice researchers map the diffusion of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride in aqueous solutions
Rice University researchers have mapped out how bits of 2D materials move in liquid ⎯ which that could help scientists assemble macroscopic-scale materials with the same useful properties as their 2D counterparts. In order to maintain these special properties in...
