Researchers have found a new way to synthesize graphene oxide which has significantly fewer defects compared to materials produced by most common method. Similarly good graphene oxide could be ...

Dr Jason Stafford, from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Birmingham, explains how a novel method ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice, has captivated researchers since its discovery due to its extraordinary properties.

(Nanowerk News) Since its initial discovery in 2004 at the University of Manchester, graphene has made a big splash in the scientific community. Its discoverers won a Nobel Prize in 2010 for ...

Researcher Richard Olsson, seen here in the lab holding two sources of graphene, a spool of carbon fiber and a piece of mined graphite. Researchers in Sweden report a green alternative to reduce ...

Layers of carbon atoms in a honeycomb array are a true supermaterial: their unusually high conductivity and favorable mechanical properties could further the development of bendable electronics, new ...

Twenty years ago this October, two physicists at the University of Manchester, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, published a groundbreaking paper on the "electric field effect in atomically thin ...

In a study published in Nature Chemical Engineering, researchers at EPFL developed a scalable method for producing porous graphene membranes that efficiently separate carbon dioxide. A graphene ...

Vibrational motion causes graphite particles to fold at the edges, before splitting into thinner layered materials, peeling off the parent particle, and finally undergoing high strain rates in the ...
