They worked!!!! We’re bouncing off the walls! We did the 1st firing of the ablative graphene electrodes in the MHD plasma engine unit. The electrodes ablated away removing fouling & kept electrically connected to the plasma during the entire run. Implications for the whole field.

Purdue University researchers review the recent progress in synthesizing atomically thin Te two-dimensional (2D) films and one-dimensional (1D) nanowires, including applications in field-effect transistors & potential for building ultra-scaled CMOS circuits.

Graphene is a carbon material that forms extremely thin layers. Because of its unusual properties, it is interesting for many technical applications. This also applies to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which can be regarded as cut-outs of graphene. They are considered promising materials for organic photovoltaics or for field-effect transistors. Large, single-layer PAH molecules

Physicists from MIPT and Skoltech have found a way to modify and purposely tune the electronic properties of carbon nanotubes to meet the requirements of novel electronic devices. The paper came out in the Carbon journal. Carbon nanomaterials form an extensive class of compounds that includes graphene, fullerenes, nanotubes, nanofibers, and more. Although the physical properties of many of

Theoretical work sheds light on the origins of unconventional superconductivity in 2D carbon

There’s been no greater act of magic in technology than the sleight of hand performed by Moore’s Law. Electronic components that once fit in your palm have long gone atomic, vanishing from our world to take up residence in the quantum realm. But we’re now brushing the bitter limits of this trend. In a paper […]

Graphene is the thinnest material ever produced, with the thickness of a single atomic layer, thinner than a billionth of a meter, it is able to efficiently absorb light from the visible to the infrar...

Researchers have recently unveiled a new antenna based on metasurface that can capture energy from radio waves (1). Experts have also built a circuit that can harvest energy from graphene, leading to another battery-free power source in a separate development (2).  As more devices offer radio frequencies across cell networks, Bluetooth, and WiFi, there is […]
