Graphene can increase the sensitivity of micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) Sensors by up to 100 times, according to researchers at the Swedish KTH (Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan) Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. “The advantage of using graphene membranes for piezoresistve Sensors is their extreme thinness,” Frank Niklaus, a professor at KTH, told EE Times. “The sensitivity …
a) A low-magnification tunneling electron microscope (TEM) image of Gr–Si nanoparticle (NP). (b) A higher-magnification image for the same Gr–Si NP from the white box in a. (Insets) The line profiles from the two red boxes indicate that the interlayer spacing between graphene layers is ~3.4 Å, in good agreement with that of typical graphene layers …

Abstract The use of graphene in electronic devices requires a band gap, which can be achieved by creating nanostructures such as graphene nanoribbons. A wide variety of atomically precise graphene nanoribbons can be prepared through on-surface synthesis, bringing the concept of graphene nanoribbon electronics closer to reality. For future applications it is beneficial to integrate …

Most of smartphones parts are made of silicon’s and other compounds, which are expensive and easily-breakable. This problem is making all of smart devices manufacturers looking for stronger and cheaper solutions. By combining a set of materials, a group of researchers have successfully discovered a new material which could finally finish the disaster of cracked smartphone …
PORTLAND, Ore. — Some day we may say good bye to expensive platinum in solar cells. Researchers at Michigan Technological University, in Houghton, Mich., have found that it’s possible to use a 3D graphene structure as a cheaper and more conductive alternative. Graphene is by definition a flat, planar monolayer, but by combining it with …
