How the Miracle Material Graphene is Helping to Improve Solar Cells
It’s not surprising that graphene has been dubbed the ‘miracle material’, because of some of its amazing properties, and it probably shouldn’t be surprising that more and more applications are being constantly discovered where this material can be used to good effect. Because it is a super-strong material that is essentially two-dimensional, and is also
Graphene Becoming Increasingly Attractive for Tactile Sensing
For a fairly long time now, scientists have been chasing the enticing possibility of mimicking human skin, because of the enormous potential it presents to the fields of robotics, prosthesis, haptics, the tactile Internet of Things, and for wearable devices. Up until now, this pursuit has been frustrated by the failure to develop materials and
Graphene and Hexagonal Boron Nitride: A Match Made in 2D Heaven
Within the last decade or so, two-dimensional materials have been the source of a great deal of excitement, because of their potential applications in a number of high-tech industries. Graphene is a substance which has the thickness of a single atom, and its unique structure is partly responsible for some of the extraordinary properties it
The Role of Graphene in the Technology of Tomorrow
The story of graphene – a semimetal material which has the potential to be used in a wide range of scientific, industrial, and commercial applications – is one which demonstrates both the frustrations and the possibilities of human research, as well as our continuing effort to shape the world around us as we see fit.
Your Guide to the Materials of Tomorrow
Durable, lightweight, and economical. If a material can meet these three criteria, there is a place for it in the near future. The reason is simple: humanity has recognized the finiteness of the natural resources available to us. In order to trailblaze the 21st century, societies need to adapt for ways to get as much
Three Regions Where Business Is Benefiting from Graphene Growth
