The odd superconductivity found in layered graphene may bring us closer to understanding room-temperature superconductors ...

Graphene always sounds exciting, although we aren’t sure what we want to do with it. One of the most promising features of ...

Why do cold thin sheets of carbon offer no resistance to electric currents? Two experiments are bringing us closer to an answer – and maybe even to practical room-temperature superconductors.

By twisting layers of graphene, researchers discovered a unique electronic crystal where electrons freeze in place yet allow ...

“Although a wide range of [superconductor] correlated phenomena have indeed been observed in the moiré TMDs, robust ...

The exceptional electrical properties of graphene were discovered only five years ago in experiments that involved manually peeling samples weighing picograms from bulk graphite 4. Today the total ...

This hypothesis is supported by real-world experiments performed over a decade ago which found that one-atom-thick graphene was less permeable to helium atoms than a quartz film of a few microns in ...

Why do cold thin sheets of carbon offer no resistance to electric currents? Two experiments are bringing us closer to an answer – and maybe even to practical room-temperature superconductors.

Caption Two teams of researchers will explore the benefits of graphene as a light-propulsion material in solar sails, and as a smart coating in loop heat pipes for satellites. Both experiments ...

Question 5: Graphene shot into the public awareness because... In 2010, ground-breaking experiments with graphene were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics ...

Question 4: When graphene was first isolated in the lab, what technology did the researchers use? You didn't select an answer. The answer is: Scotch tape. Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov frequently ...
