Machines and electronic devices often generate waste heat that is difficult to utilize. If electricity could be generated from this waste heat, it would offer a means for a clean and sustainable power production: Such… Read More »Mini electricity generator made from quantum dots
It is one of the humans’ desired goals that we want to precisely control the heat transport as the level as that we can control the electrical current. However, a high-performance thermal rectifier or thermal… Read More »Heat rectification via suspended asymmetric graphene nanomesh
Researchers from Paragraf and Queen Mary University of London demonstrated the successful fabrication of an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) with a monolayer graphene anode, replacing ITO in organic light-emitting diodes. The new study is published… Read More »Graphene could replace rare metal used in mobile phone screens
When two sheets of the carbon nanomaterial graphene are stacked together at a particular angle with respect to each other, it gives rise to some fascinating physics. For instance, when this so-called “magic-angle graphene” is… Read More »Magnetic surprise revealed in ‘magic-angle’ graphene
Although twisted sheets of double bilayer graphene have been studied extensively the past few years, there are still pieces missing in the puzzle that is its phase diagram—the different undisturbed, ground states of the system.… Read More »Nematicity is a new piece in double bilayer graphene phase diagram puzzle
The ability to sense the magnitude and polarity of an electric field is of great scientific interest. Applications include early prediction of lightning and detection of supersonic aircraft. Presently, field mills are widely used electric… Read More »Researchers uncover the mechanism of electric field detection in microscale graphene sensors
