Development of graphene-based attachable sticker-type rechargeable batteries

Researchers have developed're-attachable micro-supercapacitors using highly swollen laser-induced-graphene electrodes.

Seeking the sounds of superfluids

A new study examines the propagation of energy as sound waves in a quantum gas, revealing for the first time strong variations in the nature of the sound wave as a function of temperature.

Engineers design carbon nanostructure stronger than diamonds

Novel plate-cell architecture reaches theoretical limit of performance.

Graphene heterostructures with black phosphorus, arsenic layers enable new infrared detectors

Scientists have calculated the parameters of photodetectors comprised by layers of graphene and a combination of black phosphorus and black arsenic. These sensors are able to detect radiation with energy less than the band gap of the constituent layers without graphene.

CarbonHagen goes online during the lock-down

The organizers revive Carbonhagen as a Zoom online forum during the COVID-19 lock-down.

Remote control of hormone release with magnetic nanoparticles

Researchers have developed magnetic nanoparticles that can stimulate the adrenal gland to produce stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol.
