Graphene, a form of carbon, is transparent and flexible conductor with a range of applications including in making solar cells, light-emitting diodes, touch panels and smart windows. Graphene supercapacitors serve as energy storage devices with a capacity for faster charging and longer life span than traditional electrolytic batteries. Graphene consistsContinue Reading
Scientists at the University of Exeter in the UK just came up with a greener, stronger concrete using graphene which will make the construction process more environment-friendly and durable. Graphene is a form of carbon consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. Researchers at theContinue Reading
Researchers at MIT have come up with a device they call a thermal resonator that harvests energy from changes in temperature. The thermal resonator has a foam made of nickel or copper at its core that is coated with graphene to increase its conductivity. Then it is infused with octadecane,Continue Reading
In a feat comparable to the fable of blind man who carried a lame man on his back, lending him his feet and borrowing from him his eyes, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore have combined light emitting but poor conductor quantum dots with good conductor, butContinue Reading
