A sheet of graphene sandwiched between electrolytes can host independently tunable proton and electron currents — setting the stage for a device that serves both computer-memory and logic functions.

Newly published research demonstrates a novel way of generating phonon-polaritons by making electrons collide with crystal lattice structures. The discovery paves the way for cheaper, smaller ...

Superconductors (materials that conduct electricity without resistance) have fascinated physicists for more than a century. While conventional superconductors are well understood, a new class of ...

The excellent electrical properties of semi-metallic graphene have made it an irreplaceable material in many applications. Opening the band gap in graphene without compromising on its other ...

A new atomically precise carbon sheet combines nanoporous graphene and biphenylene stripes, offering controlled semiconducting behavior, tunable mechanics, and selective gas interaction for future ...

While graphene excels, carbyne and diamond nanothreads offer competitive advantages in specific engineering applications.

Graphene is an extremely thin, flexible and resistant material made of pure carbon. It forms layers that consist of virtually a single layer of carbon atoms. To make graphene as thick as a human hair, ...

Researchers at Okayama University used high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction to detect tiny lattice distortions (about 100 parts per million) emerging as the topological superconductor Cu x ...
