Bookmark or Share- A graphene roll-out | MIT News | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyGrowing graphene. For many researchers, graphene is ideal for use in filtration membranes. A single sheet of graphene resembles atomically thin chicken wire and is composed of carbon atoms joined in a pattern that makes the material extremely tough and impervious to even the smallest atom, helium.
- Transparent graphene electrodes might lead to new generation of solar ...Large sheets of transparent graphene that could be used for lightweight, flexible solar cells or electronics displays can now be created using a method developed at MIT. The technique involves a buffer layer of parylene for the graphene transfer process. Lead researchers include Jing Kong, Tomas Palacios, Markus Buehler, and Giovanni Azzellino.
- Physicists discover important new property for grapheneGraphene is composed of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in hexagons resembling a honeycomb structure. Since the material’s discovery, scientists have shown that different configurations of graphene layers can give rise to a variety of important properties.
- Insulator or superconductor? Physicists find graphene is bothIn studying the electronic properties in graphene, the team began to play around with simple stacks of graphene sheets. The researchers created two-sheet superlattices by first exfoliating a single flake of graphene from graphite, then carefully picking up half the flake with a glass slide coated with a sticky polymer and an insulating material ...
- Researchers design one of the strongest, lightest materials knownResearchers at MIT have fused flakes of graphene into a sponge-like shape, creating one of the strongest lightweight materials, writes James Temperton for Wired. Flakes of graphene were compressed using heat and pressure, then 3-D printers were used to create a “strong, stable structure similar to some corals” for stress tests.
