Layers of carbon atoms in a honeycomb array are a true supermaterial: their unusually high conductivity and favorable mechanical properties could further the development of bendable electronics, new ...

Asphaltenes, a carbon-rich by-product of crude oil production, can be used as a feedstock for making graphene, according to a new study (Sci. Adv. 2022, DOI:10.1126 ...

For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging a long-standing puzzle in physics. By creating ultra-clean samples, the ...

Juan Casado Cordón, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Malaga, considers graphene—an infinite layer of carbon atoms—as one of the greatest discoveries of the last 20 years due to its ...

In recent years, materials scientists experimenting with ceramics have started adding an oxidized form of graphene to the mix to produce ceramics that are tougher, more durable, and more resistant to ...

For several decades, a central puzzle in quantum physics has remained unsolved: Could electrons behave like a perfect, frictionless fluid with electrical properties described by a universal quantum ...

Almost 20 years after graphene’s discovery, research suggests it is the most magnetoresistant material we know of. This describes its ability to increase or decrease its electrical resistance in ...
