New technology extracts potential to identify quality graphene cheaper and faster

Researchers have created a machine-learning algorithm that can characterise graphene properties and quality within 14 minutes.

Faster, more efficient energy storage could stem from holistic study of MXenes

Researchers developed a novel, integrated approach to track energy-transporting ions within an ultra-thin material, which could unlock its energy storage potential leading toward faster charging, longer-lasting devices.

New method to track ultrafast change of magnetic state

Scientists have developed a precise method to measure the ultrafast change of a magnetic state in materials. They do this by observing the emission of terahertz radiation that necessarily accompanies such a magnetization change.

Using light's properties to indirectly see inside a cell membrane

New imaging technique helps resolve nanodomains, chemical composition in cell membranes.

Payper: A new graphene-based contactless payment system

The role of graphene in the system's printed electronic antenna is to provide high flexibility, conductivity and mechanical strength, which can be imparted onto the tight and variable curvature of the till roll.

Physicists discover new two-dimensional ferroelectric material just two atoms thick

The new material, a tin selenide monolayer, is only the third two-dimensional ferroelectric belonging to the chemical family of group-IV monochalcogenides that has been experimentally grown thus far.
