Aug 28, 2012 19:14 Tetsuo Nozawa, Nikkei Electronics. Sony Corp developed a machine that produces graphene, which is two-dimensionally connected carbon atoms, by using a roll-to-roll method and made a graphene sheet with a width of 23cm and a length of 100m. It is the largest area of graphene sheet in the world. Sony will [...]

Peratech thinks printable electronic sensors of volatile compounds could find their way into textiles. Thin nose: Peratech’s VOC-sensing film (the small round gray area on right side of this testing equipment) could be integrated into clothing or onto paper. Peratech A U.K. company says its highly pressure-sensitive material could be used to integrate an « electronic [...]

Many conferences on graphene have been held this calendar year and I myself have attended quite a few of them. For me, Graphene 2012—held in Brussels on April 10–13—was in some ways similar to many of these other conferences, and in other ways it was a distinctive conference. [Read more] Mildred S. Dresselhaus (2012). One [...]

Nature Nanotechnology | Published: 02 November 2011 Transparent, elastic films containing carbon nanotubes can use changes in capacitance to act as pressure and strain sensors, according to research carried out by Zhenan Bao and her colleagues at Stanford University. The films have a skin-like elasticity that allows them to be stretched to twice their normal [...]

“If the nanotube is short, one end will get drawn down by the collapsing bubble so that the nanotube is aligned toward the center of the bubble. In this case, the tube doesn’t bend, but rather stretches. This behavior had been previously predicted, but we also found that long nanotubes did something unexpected. The model [...]

Looking for the killer nano app – By John Osborne Nano materials have the potential to expand the uses of plastics because of the possibility of creating more functionality and versatility. Speakers at the Nano Enhancers for Plastics conference, organised by European Plastics News, discussed the key challenges for nano materials in finding the applications [...]
