How Tiny Ribbons of Graphene Could Power a Faster Transistor
Researchers demonstrate a promising new approach to manufacturing a crucial form of graphene. By Mike Orcutt on August 13, 2015 High-quality graphene nanoribbons can now be grown directly on a conventional ...
Glass paint could keep metal roofs and other structures cool even on sunny days
Sunlight can be brutal. It wears down even the strongest structures, including rooftops and naval ships, and it heats up metal slides and bleachers until they’re too hot to use. To fend off damage and heat ...
A Step Toward Practical Plasmonic Chips?
Optoelectronics researchers in Russia have proposed a new design for a fast plasmonic chip, with the potential to dramatically cut the large energy losses that have typically blocked practical use of such ...
