One of Earth's most common nanomaterials is facilitating breakthroughs in tackling climate change: clay. In a new study, ...

The 18-inch behemoth is packed with top-end specs, including the option for a 4K-capable 2D / 3D screen ... has a pretty unique look thanks to its carbon fiber lid. Lenovo says each Legion ...

to bespoke allotropes like diamond. Advanced carbon materials begin to be referred to as nano materials when one or more of their dimensions are restricted to nanoscale. 2D materials range from ...

according to a new study from Rice University scientists and collaborators published in the journal Matter ("Intrinsic toughening in monolayer amorphous carbon nanocomposites"). Like graphene, MAC is ...

2D materials still have a long way to go to achieve cost parity ... Still, adhesives used in the transfer process leave carbon residue that can be difficult to remove without damage.⁠[1] Meanwhile, ...

This study used several computational methods, including density functional theory, density functional tight binding, and molecular dynamics simulations, to explore the solar energy conversion ...

For example, graphene and diamond, although they are both allotropes of carbon, exhibit very different mechanical, electrical, thermal, and other physical properties. Therefore, combining the ...

Among 2D allotropes there is evidence for graphdiyne, Proserpio notes. This version of graphene has four sp carbons along some edges that form two carbon–carbon triple bonds. Roald Hoffmann from ...

known as 2D materials. These flat sheets are just a few atoms thick, but they can be much wider than a laser beam, and are far better at converting laser pulses into excitons. The researchers grew ...

Figure 1: An atomically thin flake of tungsten diselenide acts as a reservoir for excitons, which are made up of electrons (red) and holes (blue). These excitons ...
