Graphene: Carbon As Thin As Can Be
This story is from the category Computing Power
Date posted: 03/03/2009
Surprising mechanical, structural, and electronic properties of one-atom-thin sheets are grabbing widespread attention for its uses in future flexible displays, transistors, and advanced wearable and flexible personal electronic systems.
"Graphene is one of the hottest topics in materials science these days," says Jannik C. Meyer, a postdoc at the University of Ulm, in Germany, who co-led a groundbreaking electron microscopy study of graphene two years ago. Indeed, a quick peek at the numbers on the preprint server arxiv.org, which captures only a fraction of journal submissions, shows that well over 1,000 papers about graphene have been written since 2007.
