Researchers create smallest gaps ever in nanostructures using graphene April 27, 2015 at 8:44 am
Structures with these atomic-sized gaps could be used to detect single molecules associated with certain diseases, and could be key to developing smaller and faster electronics than ever before.
Silicene could help create an alternative to graphene, with many of its benefits February 4, 2015 at 4:20 pm
New materials research could provide researchers with an alternate material to graphene that’s more suited to semiconductor design — if they can figure out how to keep silicene, the single-atom lattice of silicon, from degrading in a matter of minutes.
Silicene discovered: Single-layer silicon that could beat graphene to market April 30, 2012 at 6:49 am
Numerous research groups around the world are reporting that they have created silicene, a one-atom-thick hexagonal mesh of silicon atoms — the silicon equivalent of graphene.
