If you have ever gotten up on a winter morning and thrown yourself into the arduous task of scraping frost from a windshield, a Virginia Tech lab is engaging science...

Graphene Flagship researchers have devised a wafer-scale fabrication method that paves the way to the next generation of telecom and datacom devices. Credit: Unsplash Our world needs reliable telecommunications more...

Carbon nanotubes are tiny. They can be a hundred thousand times smaller than the width of a human hair. But they have huge potential. Products manufactured using carbon nanotubes include...

Graphene, a two-dimensional material composed exclusively of carbon, has revealed extraordinary properties, including thermal and electrical conductivity, transparency, and flexibility. When combined, these properties become particularly interesting in the age...

Graphene Flagship researchers have developed a new measurement standard for the analysis of graphene and layered materials that could accelerate production and optimise device fabrication. Credit: Graphene Flagship. X-ray scans revolutionized...

Strategically placed cuts to structural films can create 3D nanostructures when force is applied to the films, similar to how kirigami cuts made to paper can create pop-up structures. Credit:...

A molecular dynamics simulation (left) is juxtaposed with an electron microscopy image (right) of the cancer drug sorafenib. Sorafenib, like many other small molecule drugs, can spontaneously form intricate nano-scale...
