Turns out, changing the way atoms and molecules are arranged in a substance can give it new and fascinating properties.
While it’s too early to say whether graphene will live up to the hype, it’s now appearing in everything from motorcycle helmets to aircon units.
Two forms of the same boron nitride molecules couldn’t look and act more different – but combining them could lead to applications that have the best of both worlds.
Graphene is superstrong and superconductive, and it has applications in everything from construction to electronics. But to date there have been almost no commercial uses of the material.
Quantum communication has the potential to provide truly secure global communications.
Some face masks now come with a coating of graphene, a substance that can kill microbes. Is it safe to breathe it in?
Graphene based COVID tests are quick and robust.
Layering substances like graphene in new ways could help us to build quantum computers or transmit electricity over long distances.
Nanotechnology isn’t science fiction – you can find it in the latest TV screens, solar cells and tennis rackets.
Less-toxic hair dye would be a great invention. But discounting the risks that come with nanoparticles could undermine other efforts to protect human health and environmental from their effects.
New materials just one atom thick could help make graphene even more useful.
Molybdenum disulphide, hexagonal boron nitride and other materials yet to be discovered will be used to build the electronics of the future.
Touch screens are everywhere these days but the materials commonly used to make them are not that abundant. So what are the alternatives?
Something is needed to give the stalwart lithium-ion battery a boost for our increasingly power hungry mobile devices.
Who says scientists aren’t artistic? A team of researchers have done some amazing kirigami work, an ancient Japanese paper art, using graphene.
Three-dimensional images you can see without special glasses have been created with a clever user of lasers and graphene.
There is much excitement about graphene, a material only a single carbon-atom thick, but finding ways to do something with it that’s affordable have always been a challenge.
We all know engineering is useful, functional, even ingenious. But the engineering photography competition we hold each year provides us a chance to wander outside its merely utilitarian aspects into dimensions…
Graphene – an atom-thick sheet of carbon – has been touted as a new wonder material: it is stronger than steel and conducts electricity better than copper. In the journal Nature Nanotechnology today, my…
