The Latest News on Emerging Graphene Trends
Graphene is a flat monolayer of carbon atoms tightly packed into a two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb lattice, and is a basic building block for graphitic materials of all other dimensionalities. It can be wrapped up into 0D fullerenes, rolled into 1D nanotubes or stacked into 3D graphite.

| First switchable graphene nanoribbon that twists on demand |
|
Researchers at Nagoya University have built a graphene nanoribbon that can switch the direction of its twist using a natural solvent. Graphene nanoribbons are thin, ribbon-shaped structures made of ...

| Scientists bent graphene almost as sharply as atoms allow and something strange happened |
|
In 2008, two physicists proposed that something strange should happen when graphene is bent almost as sharply as atoms allow. The bend, they argued, could nudge electrons out of balance, producing ...

| The 'wonder material' graphene can be made using a kitchen blender, a mobile phone and a newspaper |
|
There is something slightly ridiculous about using a kitchen blender to make graphene. This is, after all, the "wonder material" associated with futuristic technologies. You might reasonably expect ...

| Faint far-infrared radiation drives a correlated insulator-to-metal transition in magic-angle graphene |
|
One of the central ideas in modern physics is the phase transition—a sudden transformation of the state of a material. We encounter phase transitions throughout everyday life: water freezes into ice, ...
