Graphene applications in electronics and photonicsNashville TN (SPX) Nov 14, 2011 Graphene, which is composed of a one-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms in a honeycomb-like lattice (like atomic-scale chicken wire), is the world's thinnest material - and one of the hardest and strongest. Indeed, the past few years have seen an explosion of research into the properties and potential applications of graphene, which has been touted as a superior alternative to silicon. Because graphene is a two-dimensional material, "all of it is an exposed surface," says physical chemist Phaedon Av ... read more |
