A new route to making graphene could make the 21st century’s wonder material easier to ramp up to industrial scale. Graphene -- a tightly bound single layer of carbon atoms with super strength and the ...

UV light initiates an oxidation process that fragments a water-dispersible form of graphene and eventually decomposes the material, as indicated by the gradual lightening of the solutions shown here..

Researchers have demonstrated that films made of randomly stacked graphene flakes can detect lower concentrations of some chemicals than films made of graphene crystals. Scientists from the University ...

What is the actual structure of graphene oxide nanoflakes? This question is important for optimizing the properties of the carbon material in real-world applications, and researchers at CSIRO in ...

Recent research has found a new way to make graphene that adds structural defects to improve the performance of the material that could have benefits across a range of applications - from sensors and ...

Research from University of Warwick and collaborators has developed a new process for growing graphene with controlled ...

The Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), along with other funding agencies, helped a Rice University research team make graphene suitable for a variety of organic chemistry ...

When Felix Fischer of the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) set out to develop nanostructures made of graphene using a new, controlled approach to ...

Sheets of graphene oxide can undergo spontaneous crosslinking reactions, which essentially glue the sheets together, as a result of common drying procedures. The finding broadens scientists’ ...

Graphene is widely regarded as one of the most exciting materials in the world of materials science. Graphene has leapt to relative fame in the 21st century with a number of high profile experiments ...
