New research by scientists at the University of Manchester has shown that graphene, the thinnest and most impermeable material on Earth and one of the strongest, can be penetrated by protons.
Molybdenum disulfide is a material similar to graphite, very abundant on Earth and that has been revealed as one of the keys to the future of flexible electronics, presenting better performances than the organic semiconductors used so far. Now a Spanish and Dutch research group has studied the mechanical properties of this material in a pioneering work published in the journal Advanced Materials.
Graphene, which has also been dubbed the "miracle material" of the 21st century for its many applications in the field of electronics, could have a competitor: grafin. A work published in the journal Physical Review Letters has examined the electronic properties of this material, which has yet to be synthesized in the laboratory, using computer simulations.
In addition to creating folding mobile phones and lighter aircraft, graphene could be used to distill alcohol. It is the new utility that a team of scientists from the University of Manchester have found in this revolutionary material - the thinnest and, at the same time, the strongest and most ductile in the world.
A study on graphene published in the latest issue of the journal Nature Communications reveals a key formula to improve the characteristics of graphene devices and use them as photodetectors in future high-speed optical communications.
In 2004, physicists Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov synthesized graphene in the laboratory. Just seven years later, this material of extraordinary resistance could have been found in space by a team of Spanish astrophysicists.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
