The number of graphene layers determines specific properties. Both single-layer and bi-layer graphenes are zero band gap semiconductors because of the association between conduction and the valance ...

A nanographene is a finite, nanometer-scale fragment of graphene's hexagonal carbon lattice in which edges, shape, and size dominate its electronic, optical, and chemical properties. Simple definition ...

In a new study, scientists from Singapore and Spain have presented a new avenue for exploring exotic physics in graphene. They focus on electronic interactions in graphene when it is sandwiched in a ...

The electron is the basic unit of electricity, as it carries a single negative charge. This is what we're taught in high school physics, and it is overwhelmingly the case in most materials in nature.

Following the discovery of graphene, its two-dimensional (2D) structure and its electronic and mechanical properties have gained much attention from the research community. Graphene is extensively ...

A layered form of graphene shows a rare semimetal state with balanced electrons and holes that becomes a topological insulator when exposed to moderate magnetic fields. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Semimetals ...

Rice University researchers have shown that tiny wrinkles in graphene can change the material's electrical properties, ...

QTREX has demonstrated a patent-pending process that converts sections of 3D-printed insulation directly into conductive ...
