A research team mixed carbon nanotubes and graphene together to boost performance and lower cost in an ultracapacitor. Read more »
In a step toward post-silicon electronics, a Stanford team has created stable carbon nanotube transistors that are as small as the best silicon transistors. Read more »
Arevo is the newest startup offering unusual types of filament for 3D printers, including carbon fiber and PEEK plastic. Read more »
Due to nanotubes’ natural qualities, they can convert even small amounts of light into heat, leading to no-battery-needed motion. Researchers think the system could be used to create smart curtains that… Read more »
Using 100-year-old knowledge of an alternative audio technology, researchers were able to create a simpler speaker that might be possible to manufacture affordably. Read more »
German researchers have come up with a cheap way to spray gas sensors, based on a relatively new material, onto thin film. If health fears are cleared, this could result in… Read more »
Manufacturing the emerging nanomaterial is difficult and expensive. The new method is simpler and potentially better for the environment. Read more »
It may be the most amazing substance known to humanity – potentially – but pioneers in the graphene scene are still scratching their heads as to the material’s killer app. Read more »
Graphene is a strong candidate for silicon’s successor, but making it reliably is still problematic. To solve that, the University of Cambridge is opening a new center with backing from Nokia… Read more »
