Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a technique to measure how extremely thin materials expand when heated. This ability to gauge the thermal expansion coefficient could address a key challenge in microelectronics. The research, published in ACS Nano, focuses on materials that are only a few atoms thick, known as two-dimensional materials. These are…
Can graphene serve as a single material for both memory and logic?
A new study published in Nature explores the electrochemical potential of graphene, a single-atom-thick sheet of carbon to function as both memory and logic components. By sandwiching graphene between electrolytes and applying specific voltages, researchers, including Marcelo Lozada-Hidalgo and J. Tong of the University of Manchester, created independent pathways for both protons and electrons to…
