Electrochemical etching down to one-monolayer towards high-Tc superconductivity

A new route for exploration of nontrivial physical phenomena at two-dimensional materials.

Graphene could take night-vision technology beyond 'Predator'

Researchers integrated graphene with silicon microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) to make their device. Testing showed it could be used to detect a person's heat signature at room temperature without cryogenic cooling.
