Just as embroiderers, with needle and thread, can transform plain fabric into an intricate pattern, engineers can use lasers and polymers to create flexible, complex structures that could transform ...

Engineers use laser patterning and iron-oxide ink to control graphene growth on polymers, creating flexible microelectrodes that detect dopamine and serotonin.

Graphene has the potential to spur advances in a variety of sectors, from transport to medicine to electronics. Unfortunately, the high cost of graphene production has slowed commercialization.

Graphene has very many strengths, but there is one thing it isn’t and that is magnetic. Now, a team of researchers has found that the insertion of a little lead ...

Recent research has found a new way to make graphene that adds structural defects to improve the performance of the material that could have benefits across a range of applications - from sensors and ...

Engineers have discovered an unexpected link between two very different realms of physics: the behavior of electrons in graphene and magnetic waves in specially engineered materials. By designing a ...

Graphene has many fantastic properties that could change the course of human civilization. It's chemically stable, highly conductive, and incredibly strong. One thing it is not, however, is magnetic.

Since its discovery in 2004, this single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb structure has demonstrated a remarkable combination of characteristics that set it apart from any other known ...

Neuromorphic chips are the new hotness in semiconductor research. These chips consist of networks of transistors that interact the way neurons do, allowing them to process analog input, like visual ...
