Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have succeeded in generating intense magnetic fields on the nanoscale by focusing electric current through a nanosized metal constriction. The feat has allowed them to perform magnetic res

Graphene (a sheet of carbon just one atom thick) can be successfully p-doped with boron, according to new experiments by researchers at Columbia University in the US. The result means that the carbon material can be both electron- and hole-doped, som

Researchers at Oxford University in the UK have made a thin-film solar cell with better than 15% light-conversion efficiency from an emergent class of semiconductors known as perovskites. The devices have a simple architecture and could easily be pro

Graphene Frontiers, a spinout from the University of Pennsylvania, US, has been awarded $745k from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to demonstrate and develop roll-to-roll production of continuous graphene film. The company, founded in 2011, is

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign in the US have made the first wearable and flexible thermometer from arrays of nanosized sensors. The patch-like device, which can measure temperature variations on human skin to a precisi
