Graphene oxide is composed of oxygenated functional groups, the most prevalent of which are carboxyl, carbonyl, epoxy, and hydroxyl. These functional groups present on graphe are polar, making it very ...

Researchers have developed a series of techniques to build carbon nanoribbons atom by atom, engineering their electronic properties from the ground up rather than carving them from bulk material.

"Three" kinds of regalia such as crown, orb, and sward are often necessary to be a high king for conquering the world. For fighting off cancerous diseases, what do we need? This "triple" chemical ...

Juan Casado Cordón, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Malaga, considers graphene—an infinite layer of carbon atoms—as one of the greatest discoveries of the last 20 years due to its ...

Scientists identify the wettability of graphene layers and improve the understanding of graphene interface properties at molecular levels. Graphene is a two-dimensional material in which carbon atoms ...

One vision that is currently driving material scientists is to combine organic molecules (and their diverse functionalities) with the technological possibilities offered by extremely sophisticated ...

Graphene is a one-atomic-layer thick two-dimensional material comprised of carbon atoms organized in a honeycomb composition. Its interesting optical, electrical and mechanical attributes created a ...

The number of graphene layers determines specific properties. Both single-layer and bi-layer graphenes are zero band gap semiconductors because of the association between conduction and the valance ...
