Home > Press > Researchers put a new twist on graphite A University of Washington-led team has discovered that, by stacking a sheet of graphene onto bulk graphite at a small twist angle (top), exotic properties present at the graphene-graphite interface (yellow) can bleed down into the graphite itself. ...
Insights into designing advanced stimuli-responsive materials
Jul 21, 2023 (Nanowerk News) The “nothing” (empty space) feature of porous soft materials is foundational to their properties and applications, and has been a focus of study for many years. Now, researchers from Japan have solved a long-standing puzzle of these materials that will speed up research and development,...
Wide field-of-view metasurface-enhanced scanning lidar technology
Jul 21, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Pulsed laser scanning lidar is a core technology for autonomous driving and robotic mobility. Herein, a directional light pulse is backscattered by a reflective object and the elapsed time between emission and detection of the pulse is used to calculate depth. These direct time-of-flight (d-ToF)...
