Graphene Offers Protection From Intense Laser Pulses
Single-sheet graphene dispersion when substantially spaced apart in liquid cells or solid film matrices can exhibit novel excited state absorption mechanism that can provide highly effective broadband optical limiting well below the onset of microbubble...
Frustration Inspires New Form of Graphene
They’re the building block of graphite – ultra-thin sheets of carbon, just one atom thick, whose discovery was lauded in 2010 with a Nobel Prize in Physics. The seemingly simple material is graphene, and many researchers believe it has great potential...
South Korea Seeking Rare Earth Concessions in South Africa
Seeking to secure reliable supplies of rare earths for the country’s growing industrial demand, South Korea is negotiating to open concessions in South African mines.
Fundamental Discovery May Make It Easier for Engineers to Build Electronic Circuits Out of Graphene
Rice University materials scientists have made a fundamental discovery that could make it easier for engineers to build electronic circuits out of the much-touted nanomaterial graphene.
Researchers Build Graphene And Tin Nanoscale Composite High Capacity Material Battery
Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have created a graphene and tin nanoscale composite material for high-capacity energy storage in renewable lithium ion batteries. By encapsulating...
Exotic Behavior When Mechanical Devices Reach the Nanoscale
Most mechanical resonators damp (slow down) in a well-understood linear manner, but ground-breaking work by Prof. Adrian Bachtold and his research group at the Catalan Institute of Nanotechnology has shown that resonators formed from nanoscale graphene...
Low Carbon Future Mapped Out in Britain for HGVs
The UK Government is publishing a long-term strategy aimed at helping manufacturers of commercial vehicles and construction equipment move to low carbon solutions.
Business Say Flying Less is More
New research just published by WWF suggests that, following the recession, businesses are making a permanent commitment to fly less. Nearly half of UK businesses said that they had cut business flights over the past two years and, of these, 85% said they...
