Gas sensors are essential for personal safety and environmental monitoring, but traditional sensors have limitations in sensitivity and energy efficiency. Now, researchers have developed an improved ...

Concrete has quietly become one of the planet’s biggest climate problems, yet it remains the backbone of modern cities and ...

A single-atom-thick sheet of graphene has remarkable properties on its own, but things can get even more interesting when you stack up multiple sheets, report researchers at the US National Institute ...

Graphene sheets with 5- or 7-membered rings form cone or saddle shapes, affecting curvature and rigidity. A new method helps study their complex mechanics. (Nanowerk News) Graphene sheets (GS) are two ...

Graphene and diamond, both carbon, can be combined into hybrids that merge flexibility, conductivity, and hardness for extreme electronics and mechanical applications.

In order to create molybdenene, the researchers started with molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2), which using a microwave-assisted field underwent electrochemical transformation into whiskers that when ...

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 ...
