  • IBM developed a Teraherz frequency photonic filter and polarizer

    Updated: 2012-04-23 08:34:35
    Home Introduction IBM developed a Teraherz frequency photonic filter and polarizer Tweet IBM Photonics Technical Research IBM researchers managed to develop a graphene insulator superlattice that achieves a Teraherz frequency notch filter and a linear polarizer . These kinds of devices can be used in mid- and far-infrared photonic devices , including detectors , modulators and three-dimensional metamaterials . Terhertz is interesting because this kind of frequencies can penetrate paper , wood and other solid . objects IBM managed to create these devices by using a multi-layer graphene instulator superlattice and a multi-layer stack structure in microdisk . arrays source : EETimes Apr 23, 2012 Login register to post comments Similar entries Graphene microdisks superlattice array photo IBM

  • Get Yourself an Asteroid Week

    Updated: 2012-04-20 07:01:21
    Brian Wang’s NextBigFuture has posted four compelling articles on asteroids this week.  That’s getting hard to ignore and the potential is substantial. The reason why is the resources asteroids contain.  There will be metals of considerable interest, lots of water, and perhaps some methane. Plus a lot of what many will consider junk.  Still, with [...]

  • A Better Cheaper Thermoelectric Material

    Updated: 2012-04-19 12:26:42
    Purdue University assistant professor of chemical engineering Yue Wu leads a team developing a technique that uses nanotechnology to harvest energy from hot pipes or engine components.  The team has coated glass fibers with a new thermoelectric material they developed. When thermoelectric materials are heated on one side electrons flow to the cooler side, generating [...]

  • Graphene Monoxide may hold the key towards graphene electronics

    Updated: 2012-04-19 07:34:22
    Home Introduction Graphene Monoxide may hold the key towards graphene electronics Tweet Electronics Graphene Oxide Technical Research Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee developed a new material called Graphene Monoxide GMO which is semiconducting . It's also may be easier to scale up compared to Graphene . This new material can provide the key towards graphene based electronics . The researchers say that they discovered GMO by chance . In their experiments , the team heated Graphene Oxide in a vacuum , to reduce oxygen . But the results surprised them the the carbon and oxygen atoms in the layers of GO became aligned , transforming themselves into an ordered semiconductor the .

The announcement has the new 11 kW motor’s efficiency rated at about 93% and running at the highest of the International [...]

  • AIST produced graphene on 300 mm wafers on their new Aixtron BM 300 system

    Updated: 2012-04-11 16:47:33
    Home Introduction AIST produced graphene on 300 mm wafers on their new Aixtron BM 300 system Tweet Aixtron Technical Research Aixtron announced today that the BM 300 system was installed at the the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology AIST in Japan . AIST purchased the system back in April 2011 The system was installed in 2011 in AIST’s super clean room facility in Tsukuba and was commissioned by the local Aixtron support . team AIST reports that they managed to produce monolayer graphene on 300 mm wafers using the new system . AIST will use the system to deposit high-quality graphene with a controlled number of layers . This will be a key part of a process technology used for creating low-voltage operation CMOS FETs , in which the power supply voltage will be

  • CRANN and Thomas Swan to research graphene production

    Updated: 2012-04-06 01:05:51
    CRANN, the Science Foundation Ireland (SFI)-funded nanoscience institute based at Trinity College Dublin will collaborate with Thomas Swan on graphene production in a €750,000 project. Thomas Swan will fund the project and will also place an engineer in SFI for two years.The aim of the collaboration would be to provide a "stable and consistent source of true graphene" to academia and industry as downstream research develops future commercial applications. The two entities are anticipating initial lab samples within the next few months. read more
