Researchers demo superconductivity in graphene monolayer
Graphene’s superconductivity has been proven time and again, but only in its three and two dimensional structures. Superconductivity in 1D arrangement has eluded scientists since it was discovered. However, researchers at University…
Scalable arrays of transistors developed; ultrathin electronics on the horizon
Ultrathin electronics could soon be developed as researchers have developed a novel way of producing arrays of semiconductor junctions within a single, nanometer-thick semiconductor crystal. Currently available transistors may be miniscule –…
3D ‘white graphene’ shows promise as coolant for electronics
As we stuff more and more transistors in silicon chips and our electronics circuitry goes more compact by the day, there is a need for next-gen coolants that will keep these electronic…
Black arsenic phosphorus pegged as a graphene competitor
The desire for smaller and smaller electronic components and quest for flexible electronics has got researchers working round the clock to find a worthy replacement of silicon which is not only good…
Super-hot electronics? Graphene is here to cool them down!
Wonder material Graphene has one more use – as a coolant for components in electronic circuitry including chips – a new research has revealed. A team of scientists led by Johan Liu,…
Fake beauty products pack human urine, arsenic, rats’ poop, other harmful substances
As more and more consumers turn to online shopping, more and more counterfeit products including cosmetics, and electronics are invading the web space luring customers into buying them through lucrative offers like…
Smartphones, tablets could function as early warning systems for earthquakes
According to a new study, smartphones, tablets and other such personal electronic devices can function as early warning systems for large earthquakes. Using crowd-sourced observations from participating users’ smartphones, earthquakes could be…
