Gated graphene makes high-contrast modulator

Researchers have succeeded in making a new electro-optic modulator from graphene by coupling the carbon material to a photonic crystal nanocavity. The device achieves high modulation of over 10 dB and could usher in a new generation of compact, low-power modulators. Graphene nanocavity Graphene – a 2D sheet of carbon just one atom thick – has many unique physical and ... Read More »

Nanotechnology Didn’t Shrink and Disappear;

Nanotechnology Didn’t Shrink and Disappear; In Fact, It’s Everywhere Nanotechology, which involves controlling matter at the molecular and atomic levels, was a much-hyped investment theme a decade ago. It’s since become widely used in commercial products ranging from solar panels to semiconductors, but investing in nanotech requires patience. By Nick Rockel Remember when nanotechnology was the next big thing? A ... Read More »

Carbon nanotechnology – stronger than Kevlar

Carbon nanotechnology – stronger than Kevlar, light as a tee-shirt, and cheap all over (Nanowerk News) Forty years ago, Dupont Company revolutionized protective gear when they introduced Kevlar, a fiber made of super-strong, rigid polymer molecules belonging to a small class called aramids. Since then, improvements to strong textile fibers have been incremental. That’s because most flexible polymers are inherently ... Read More »
