Engineers have long dreamed of creating a wonderful material that can revolutionize construction. In 2004, their dream came ...

The scientists found that this arises because the wrinkles effectively ‘stretch’ the graphene lattice, thus providing a larger space for protons to permeate through the pristine crystal lattice. This ...

Three different lattices (red, black, and blue) consecutively superimposed in that order, where they represent hBN, graphene, and hBN, respectively. hBN and graphene have the same crystal structure, ...

Among all the forms of carbon, graphene — a one-atom-thick planar layer of carbon atoms in a densely packed honeycomb crystal lattice — has become the most promising candidate for the ...

Given the high quality of the carbon lattice ... graphene a unique material for the development of high-frequency transistors up to the terahertz domain. Alternatively, the two-dimensional crystal ...

AFM is important in examining 2D materials because it can analyze mechanical, electrical, and topographical properties at the ...

A new way to make large ultrathin infrared sensors that don’t need cryogenic cooling could radically change night vision for ...

The team achieved this breakthrough by aligning the atomic lattice of a graphene layer to that of an insulating boron nitride sheet, dramatically changing the properties of the graphene sheet. The ...

ANANTAPUR: Graphene is a revolutionary material composed of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. Often referred to as a ‘wonder material’, it possesses extraordinary ...

When two or more graphene-like materials are stacked ... the fabrication procedures presented several drawbacks such as the difficulty to align the crystal lattices (with atomic accuracy) of the ...
