A new way of growing graphene without the defects that weaken it and prevent electrons from flowing freely within it could open the way to large-scale manufacturing of graphene-based devices with applications in fields such as electronics, energy, and healthcare. http://phys.org/news278941584.html Nanotechnology Fri, 01 Feb 2013 11:46:35 EST news278941584 Flatscreen televisions, computers and mobile phone displays all require transparent electrical conductors to connect embedded electrical devices without obstructing back illumination. Indium tin oxide (ITO) is currently used for this purpose, but it is expensive and fragile. A low-cost alternative, based on a composite film made of graphene and a ferroelectric polymer, is now available thanks to an international research team, including researchers from the A*STAR Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) in Singapore. http://phys.org/news269074773.html Nanotechnology Wed, 10 Oct 2012 08:40:01 EST news269074773 Researchers from the University of Bristol have measured and identified for the first time the stress and strain shear modulus and internal friction of graphene sheets. Graphene is a material that has many potential groundbreaking uses in the electronics and composites industry. http://phys.org/news248437631.html Nanotechnology Tue, 14 Feb 2012 10:27:29 EST news248437631 New observations could improve industrial production of high-quality graphene, hastening the era of graphene-based consumer electronics, thanks to University of Illinois engineers. http://phys.org/news238952666.html Nanotechnology Thu, 27 Oct 2011 16:44:47 EST news238952666 A new approach to growing graphene greatly reduces problems that have plagued researchers in the past and clears a path to the crystalline form of graphite's use in sophisticated electronic devices of tomorrow. http://phys.org/news230227532.html Nanotechnology Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:05:45 EST news230227532 (PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers have developed a method for creating single-crystal arrays of a material called graphene, an advance that opens up the possibility of a replacement for silicon in high-performance computers and electronics. http://phys.org/news225611978.html Nanotechnology Thu, 26 May 2011 07:00:31 EST news225611978 (PhysOrg.com) -- A Cornell research team has invented a simple way to make graphene electrical devices by growing the graphene directly onto a silicon wafer. http://phys.org/news177062908.html Nanotechnology Tue, 10 Nov 2009 08:10:01 EST news177062908
