Using copper foil, glass containers and a conventional household microwave oven, researchers have demonstrated that pulverized coal powder can be converted into higher-value nano-graphite.
Scientists have developed inexpensive conductive inks for clog-free ballpoint pens that can allow users to 'write' circuits almost anywhere -- even on human skin.
Researchers have used ultracold atoms to gain new insights into previously unknown quantum phenomena of 2D materials. They found out that the magnetic orders between two coupled thin films of atoms compete with each other.
Smart contact lenses could soon become mainstream thanks to a new manufacturing process that has allowed researchers to develop a multifunctional ultrathin sensor layer.
