A collaborative study confirms a potential new switching mechanism for a proposed generation of ultra-low energy topological electronics. Based on novel, quantum nanoribbons terminating on 'zigzag' ...

NUS researchers Assoc Prof Lu Jiong (centre), Dr Song Shaotang (right) and PhD student Teng Yu (left) were part of the multidisciplinary research team that developed the Janus graphene nanoribbons, a ...

Measurements were performed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation. Results revealed that, in contrast to the findings of previous reports, the electrical conductance of GNRs with a ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a stretchable strain sensor that has an unprecedented combination of sensitivity and range, allowing it to detect even minor changes in ...

Graphene is a promising material for use in nanoelectronics. Its electronic properties depend greatly, however, on how the edges of the carbon layer are formed. Zigzag patterns are particularly ...

NASA detects first “magnetic switchback” near Earth: an energetic change in your space shield that reveals new solar risks.

Graphene, like a sheet of paper, folds under mechanical forces. The folded graphene edges can affect the electrical properties of graphenes. The stability of folded graphene, however, depends on the ...

A collaborative study led by the University of Wollongong confirms switching mechanism for a new, proposed generation of ultra-low energy ‘topological electronics’. Based on novel quantum topological ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have recently achieved a significant breakthrough in the development of next-generation carbon-based quantum materials, ...
