Magnetic graphene oxide sheets fold, move, sense motion, and switch function by swapping magnetic layers, offering a fast, reprogrammable platform for soft robots and other morphable structures.

Now, after years of R&D, some of the material's original promised potential now seems tantalizingly close at hand.

Graphene sheets with 5- or 7-membered rings form cone or saddle shapes, affecting curvature and rigidity. A new method helps study their complex mechanics. (Nanowerk News) Graphene sheets (GS) are two ...

Graphene was initially celebrated as a sci-fi material destined to transform electronics, quantum devices, and futuristic ...

The number of graphene layers determines specific properties. Both single-layer and bi-layer graphenes are zero band gap semiconductors because of the association between conduction and the valance ...

Physicists have found a new way to switch superconductivity on and off in magic-angle graphene. The discovery could lead to ultrafast, energy-efficient superconducting transistors for 'neuromorphic' ...

In order to create molybdenene, the researchers started with molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2), which using a microwave-assisted field underwent electrochemical transformation into whiskers that when ...

Graphene is often regarded as one of the strongest known materials. It is about 200 times stronger than steel while remaining exceptionally lightweight and flexible. 1 Despite these advantages, ...
