The atom-thick material, which scientists believe to be stronger than graphene, is notoriously difficult to make. A new paper out of Rice University gives one more reason to take an interest… Read more »
Graphene can be made in a high-temperature oven, where it grows on a sheet of metal. Researchers instead sandwiched a piece of metal between graphene to remove the need to transfer… 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 »
The education center and accelerator, which focuses on exponential technologies with big potential, will begin raising capital in the second quarter of 2014. 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 »
By combining two techniques, researchers are closer to manufacturing highly customized nanoparticles at a large scale that could help fight diseases such as cancer. Read more »
