Hygiene in everyday items that touch the body—such as clothing, masks, and toothbrushes—is critically important. The underlying principle of how graphene selectively eliminates only bacteria has now ...

Researchers identify why graphene oxide selectively destroys bacteria while remaining safe for human cells, with applications from toothbrushes to sportswear.

MIT researchers have developed a lightweight polymer film that is nearly impenetrable to gas molecules, raising the possibility that it could be used as a protective coating to prevent solar cells and ...

Like any business, defense forces are investigating the most efficient, readily deployable and cost-effective technologies to power armies, navies, and air forces. As modern militaries increasingly ...

AMES, Iowa – Researchers looking for ways to regenerate nerves can have a hard time obtaining key tools of their trade. Schwann cells are an example. They form sheaths around axons, the tail-like ...

Graphene-based silicon solar cells comprise a promising class of photovoltaic devices that integrate the exceptional electrical and optical properties of graphene with the mature, cost-effective ...

A single-step laser process performed at room temperature can produce silicon-graphene battery anodes that hold more than 98% ...

Penn State University researchers have built a dual-gated graphene sensor that operates reliably in liquid environments, ...
