The companies take the same basic manufacturing approach, which is to break apart graphite into the sheets of graphene that make it up — usually by intercalating acids between them. The ...

Graphene has captured attention worldwide, with many scientists dubbing it a "wonder material" with potential to have a huge ...

Scientists in Brazil have made the largest chemically synthesised graphene sheet ever reported. Graphene – single-atom-thick sheets of carbon – is a material that has seemed full of possibilities ...

Graphene is the name for a honeycomb sheet of carbon atoms. It is the strongest known material, yet it is also stretchy. It can conduct electricity 100x better than silicon and heat 10x better than ...

This material consists of a layer of a two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) with five layers of graphene (carbon sheets just one atom thick) stacked on top of it. The graphene and hBN layers ...

Destination 2D, a Milpitas startup which has graphene inventor and Nobel laureate Konstantin Novoselov (pictured) as its chief scientist, has made ...
