A discovery brings graphene -- thin layers of pencil 'lead' -- one step closer to replacing silicon in future technologies such as faster and smaller microprocessors. Graphene consists of extremely ...

(Nanowerk News) Who would guess that cracking the mystery of how infinitesimally small atoms arrange themselves at the edges of crystals in advanced materials could be as simple as one, two, three?

WE’VE been putting pencil to paper to write and draw for centuries. But it turns out that the marks we have been making with graphite pencils contain minuscule flakes of a two-dimensional material ...
