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. A Step Toward Superfast Carbon Memory Graphene could make computer hard drives denser and speedier. 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. |
