Researchers from the University of Minnesota and Seoul National University have developed a new lithographic method with the help of a very low-tech tool: Scotch Magic tape. This new method, which ...

Nextbigfuture has covered the LK99, PCPOSOS (aka LK99 with Sulfur) and the wrinkled graphite room temperature and room pressure superconductors or possible room temperature and room pressure ...

(Nanowerk News) Single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have considerable potential for use in electronic devices such as field-effect transistors and solar cells. Research in this area of ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Current production methods for carbon nanotubes (CNTs) result in units with different diameter, length, chirality and electronic properties, all packed together in bundles, and ...

An international team has developed a simple new technique using Scotch poster tape that has enabled them to induce high-temperature superconductivity in a semiconductor for the first time. The method ...

Dry exfoliation, also called mechanical exfoliation, is the process of splitting a layered material into atomically thin sheets. This type of exfoliation can be carried out both mechanically and ...

Researchers have invented a new method -- using ultraflat gold films -- to disassemble vdW single crystals layer by layer into monolayers with near-unity yield and with dimensions limited only by bulk ...

Chemically modified polymer films separate mixtures of metallic and semiconducting carbon nanotubes. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have considerable potential for use in electronic devices ...

If the revolution comes, it will have started with Scotch tape, pencil lead, and cosmetic powder. Physicists first produced graphene—a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon atoms— from humble graphite in ...
