Graphene is a single-layer sheet of carbon atoms. The structure of graphene consists of six-member carbon rings, resembling a honeycomb. The single layer, two dimensional structures imparts the properties unique to graphene such as transparency, flexibility, strength, electrical and thermal conductivity.
Research carried out at North Carolina State University to identify better methods for genetic material packaging to aid in gene therapy has led to findings that could significantly impact gene therapy research and DNA-based electronics.
Researchers from Rice University, the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute (JASRI), and Kyoto University have provided new insights regarding striking resemblances between the electronic properties of a recently discovered iron-based high-temperature superconductor (HTS) and its copper-based counterparts.
Prepregs produced by Umeco Structural materials have been used by Australian composites parts manufacturer LSM Advanced Composites Pty Ltd. (LSM) on the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER, a record-breaking submersible which completed a record-breaking solo dive to the deepest place on Earth - the Mariana Trench - on the 26th March 2012.
A research team from the North Carolina State University has discovered that the bulkiness of ligands, which are organic molecules utilized in the synthesis of gold nanoparticles, determines the size of the nanoparticles, which means the larger the ligands, the smaller the nanoparticles.
An international team of scientists led from the London Centre for Nanotechnology and the Laboratory for Quantum Magnetism in Switzerland has used quantum mechanics to turn on and off the magnetism of a novel material, a transparent salt.
For several years, scientists have been devising methods to learn the hydrophobic nature of the lotus leaf. Directed by Aalto University, an international research team has resolved a new concept of scripting and displaying information on surfaces with water. The unique property of a trapped layer of air, and its effect on a lotus-based dual-structured water-repelling surface immersed in water, supported the research.
Dr. Horst Weller, Physical Chemistry Professor at the University of Hamburg, and Dr. Thomas Elsässer, Experimental Physics Professor at Humboldt University and a Director of the Max Born Institute, will receive the Julius Springer Prize for Applied Physics 2012 for their breakthrough results and thorough knowledge of fundamental processes on the sub-nanoscale.
A new Micro and Nano-Fabrication Facility has been opened at the Graphene Research Centre of the National University of Singapore (NUS). The new facility is the first-of-its-kind nano-science and nano-technology center in Asia devoted to graphene research.
A research team headed by Hongjie Dai from the Stanford University has synthesized a multi-walled carbon nanotube complex comprising cylindrical carbon sheets, which can be helpful in reducing the cost of catalytic converters, fuel cells, and other energy-related technologies by providing an economical replacement for high-cost platinum catalysts.
