Graphene tattoos enable a variety of on-skin sensing
A collaborative between scientists at the University of Texas at Austin and Southeast University in China demonstrate tattoo-like epidermal graphene sensors for measuring a range of physiological properties. Traditional wearables and and epidermals
Monolithic black phosphorus inverter circuits
Writing in ACS Nano scientists from the National University of Singapore demonstrate a monolithic black phosphorus inverter circuits. The method relies on the use of aluminium in order to achieve the desired doping
Bose-Einstein condensation in bilayer graphene
Two studies independently published in Nature Physics demonstrate Bose-Einstein condensation in double-layer bilayer graphene system. Bose-Einstein condensation occurs when electrons and hole pairs are confined in separate electronic systems, but bound by the Coulomb
Exfoliation of layered metal organic frameworks
Writing in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, scientists report the controlled exfoliation of layered metal organic frameworks (MOF). MOF, compounds which consist of metal ions have been attracting increasing interest due
Stretchable ultrahigh thermal conductivity graphene paper
A study by Zhejiang University demonstrate how graphene oxide films can be used to prepare ultra-high thermal conductivity graphene paper. High thermal conductivity films are commonly used in the industry, with its applications ranging
Production of black phosphorus by sublimation
A collaborative study between scientists at the University of British Columbia and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign demonstrate a new method for preparing few-layer black phosphorus. Traditionally, in order to exfoliate flakes
