Inkjet-printed graphene electrodes may lead to low-cost, large-area, possibly foldable devices
(Phys.org) —Using an ink containing tiny graphene flakes, scientists have inkjet-printed graphene patterns that can be used for printing finely detailed, highly conductive electrodes. Although inkjet-printed graphene has ...
Computer scientists, electrical engineers devising algorithms that look for useful new patterns in medical sensor data
Medical radiography is basically a species of photography. Historically, the patient's limb would be positioned between an x-ray source and a photographic plate. The plate would be exposed and developed, and the result was ...

First success in real time observation of process of solubilization of CNT by polymer
NIMS researchers have succeeded for the first time in the world in real-time analysis of the "polymer wrapping" process by which polymers (polymers of molecules) wrap around single-walled carbon nanotubes, which are a next-generation ...
