Recently, a research group at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) has developed a type of glue that hardens after a low voltage is applied to it. They nicknamed the new adhesive “Voltaglue.” “We had to find a way to make glue which cures (hardens) when we want it to without being affected by environmental conditions, so electricity was the best approach for us. The hardness … [Read more...]
New Technique in Photonic ICs and Optical Computing
A new technique could be a big step toward photonic ICs and optical computing, according to researchers at ITMO University in St. Petersburg, Russia. The technique uses a single silicon nanoparticle as an optical transistor. “In research published in the journal Nano Letters, the Russian scientists turned away from using nanoparticles to control the absorption of light and … [Read more...]
2D Hybrid Perovskites Grown
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have grown atomically thin 2D sheets of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites. These 2D hybrid perovskites are ionic materials that have unique properties, making them possible successors to silicon. “The ultrathin sheets are of high quality, large in area, and square-shaped. They also … [Read more...]
Phosphorene Has Unique Qualities
In 2014, researchers conducted experiments where they exfoliated black phosphorus, or phosphorene, into very thin films of about 10 to 20 atoms thick. Phosphorene, has an inherent bandgap, or energy band in which no electron states can exist, that graphene lacks. According to Philip Feng, an assistant professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Case Western … [Read more...]
New Graphene Based Filament Introduced
Graphene 3D Lab, Inc., has created Black Magic 3D, a commercial graphene-based conductive polymer filament for use in 3D printing to manufacture electronics. “This graphene-enabled polymer filament is unique on the market in its ability to impart electrical conductivity,” IEEE.org said. Black Magic 3D’s volume resistivity measures at 0.6 Ohms-cm. This is 25 times better than … [Read more...]
