A novel method transforms coal char into nanoscale carbon disks, or carbon dots, which are shown to form atomically thin membranes, crucial for advanced electronics in two-dimensional transistors and memristors.
Researchers have created the world's first functional semiconductor made from graphene, a single sheet of carbon atoms held together by the strongest bonds known. The breakthrough throws open the door to a new way of doing electronics.
The novel cooling ceramic, inspired by the Cyphochilus beetle's highly efficient light-scattering system, features a similar porous structure, leading to remarkable daytime cooling capabilities and energy savings.
Researchers report a new method for synthesizing functional high-quality non-toxic colloidal quantum dots integrable with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology.
