Tag: grapheneThe atom-thick carbon material could have optoelectronic applications. A startup's conductive graphene inks can be used to print RFID antennas A Step toward Graphene Circuitry A new way to change the electronic properties of graphene could lead to ultrafast circuits. Unzipping Graphene's Potential Slicing open carbon nanotubes could lead to much faster electronic components. Ultracapacitors that store more could help the grid run smoothly. A simple chemical trick changes graphene into a compound with different electronic properties. High-quality, clear graphene films are a leap toward bendable OLED displays. Stretchable electronics and the strongest material ever were just two achievements of 2008. Graphene circuits could lead to high-speed wireless devices and advanced weapons detectors. Making Graphene More Practical A novel process yields big pieces of single-ply graphene for smaller, faster electronics. Strongest Material Ever Tested Graphene, praised for its electrical properties, has been proven the strongest known material. Cellulose nanofibers from wood pulp create a superstrong paper. New composites could lead to better food packaging, and to lighter car and airplane parts. A simple way to deposit thin films of carbon could lead to cheaper solar cells. IBM researchers have improved transistors made from single-atom-thick sheets of carbon. |
