Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

A new platform to support and extend the viability of proteins for scientific study has been developed through work done as part of the doctoral studies of a recent University of Alabama in Huntsville doctoral graduate. Working at UAHuntsville as part of a research team under the guidance of collaborator Dr. John D. Williams, Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer ... Read More »

Routes Towards Defect-Free Graphene Optical micrograph showing graphene domains formed across grain boundaries. (Credit: Image courtesy of University of Oxford) Feb. 1, 2013 — A new way of growing graphene without the defects that weaken it and prevent electrons from flowing freely within it could open the way to large-scale manufacturing of graphene-based devices with applications in fields such as ...

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 »
