Raman spectroscopy is a highly sensitive approach for evaluating the electrical, phonon and optical characteristics of sp 2 carbon materials. Raman spectroscopy's nondestructive nature, along with ...

Graphene is a single-atom-thick carbon sheet discovered in 2004. The crucial question during graphene synthesis is, "How do I know that the material I'm making is actually single-atom thick?" Because ...

Wettability of the material is the ability of a liquid to maintain contact with a solid surface, and it is proportional to hydrophilicity and inversely proportional to hydrophobicity. It is one of the ...

Originating as a theoretical prediction in the 1940s, with experimental isolation from graphite in 2004, graphene has quickly become a desirable quantum material used in various application areas, ...

Physicists use a new platform to measure magic-angle graphene’s superconducting gap. The method involves “tunneling” electrons between two layers of magic-angle twisted tri-layer graphene (in yellow) ...

Carbon nanomaterials, including graphene, graphite and carbon nanotubes (Figure 1), carry unique physical and thermal properties that make them key elements in industries as wide-ranging as battery ...
