Graphene is one of the most remarkable materials ever discovered – a nearly two-dimensional sheet of carbon just one atom ...

What makes nitrogen-doped graphene special? Nitrogen atoms can integrate into the graphene lattice in several configurations, subtly changing how electrons move through the material. This can enhance ...

Japanese battery innovators are racing to solve the slow‑charging bottleneck that still frustrates drivers and device makers, ...

The new technique combines Helfrich theory of membrane bending and molecular dynamic simulations, allowing direct evaluation of the bending rigidity of graphene nanosheets without requiring ...

Graphene is an extremely thin, flexible and resistant material made of pure carbon. It forms layers that consist of virtually a single layer of carbon atoms. To make graphene as thick as a human hair, ...

A research team at the Institute of Science Tokyo has developed a new computational approach to assess the mechanical behaviour of graphene nanosheets. The technique enables direct measurement of ...

One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists to understand for the first time how and why certain materials conduct ...

MIT researchers observed clear signatures of unconventional superconductivity in magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene (MATTG). The image illustrates pairs of superconducting electrons (yellow spheres ...

A milestone in graphene research: Chemists have succeeded in controlling the passage of halide ions by deliberately introducing defects into a two-layer nanographene system. Their paper shows new ...

Graphene might be the wonder kid of the materials world but other 2D nanosheets also show great promise for novel applications, says Belle Dumé New dimensions Heterostructures based on 2D atomic ...
