  • Forgotten property of the electron

    The orbital angular momentum of electrons has long been considered a minor physical phenomenon, suppressed in most crystals and largely overlooked. Scientists have now discovered that in certain materials it is not only preserved but can even be actively controlled. This is due to a property of the crystal structure called chirality, which also influences many other processes in nature. The discovery has the potential to lead to a new class of electronic components capable of transmitting information with exceptional robustness and energy efficiency.

  • Researchers are developing petahertz-speed phototransistors in ambient conditions

    Researchers at the University of Arizona, California Institute of Technology and Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich have reported the generation of light-induced quantum tunnelling currents in graphene phototransistors by ultrafast laser pulses in an ambient environment. The team demonstrated a way to manipulate electrons in graphene using pulses of light that last less than a trillionth of a second. By leveraging a quantum effect known as tunneling, they recorded electrons bypassing a physical barrier almost instantaneously.

  • New method enables graphene-based thermal light emitters that are directly grown on chips

    Researchers from Japan's Keio University and Waseda University explain that graphene has substantial potential for on-chip nanoscale light sources, due to its small size, high brightness and fast-modulating blackbody radiation sources, but a known problem is the need for transfer processes when mechanically exfoliated or chemical vapor deposited graphene are used, resulting in low productivity and degradation of graphene quality. To address this issue, the team fabricated a graphene-based thermal light emitter by using an etching-precipitation method that does not require the transfer process. Infrared and visible light emission was observed from the central constricted area, forming a hot spot. Raman measurements confirmed that defect healing occurred in the central hot spot of graphene due to the annealing effect caused by Joule heating. The team also demonstrated that the device has long-term luminescence stability.

  • Acer unveils Predator Triton 14 AI laptop with graphene cooling tech

    PC maker Acer has released multiple announcements about new and upcoming AI-powered laptops, desktops, earbuds, and smart rings. Among these, the Company unveiled a slim Predator Triton 14 AI gaming laptop which Acer called 'the industry's first laptop with graphene thermal interface materials (TIM) in the CPU to help keep it cool'. A similarly appointed laptop, the Predator Helios Neo 14 AI will also be available, along with a Predator Orion 3000 gaming desktop that houses a INtel Core Ultra 7 processor and the same GPU as the two laptops. The Predator Triton 14 AI is aimed at creators, professionals, and gamers who need substantial power in a lightweight build. What is known about the graphene thermal interface material on the CPU is that it is said to deliver 14.5% better heat dissipation compared to standard thermal grease. Dual 6th Gen AeroBlade metal fans and a vapor chamber further improve cooling.

  • Graphene-enhanced zinc-ion batteries as a safe, scalable, and high-performance energy storage solution

    Zinc-ion batteries based on water-based electrolytes are inherently safe, environmentally friendly, and economically viable. They also mitigate fire risks and thermal runaway issues associated with their lithium-based counterparts, which makes them lucrative for grid-scale energy storage. Furthermore, zinc has high capacity, low cost, ample abundance, and low toxicity. Unfortunately, current collectors utilized in zinc-ion batteries, such as graphite foil, are difficult to scale up and suffer from relatively poor mechanical properties, limiting their industrial use. Image credit: Dongguk University, Republic of KoreaIn a new study, a team of researchers from the Republic of Korea, led by Associate Professor Geon-Hyoung An at the Department of Energy and Materials Engineering at Dongguk University, has proposed graphene-coated stainless steel foil as a novel alternative current collector.

  • Archer extends partnership with Queen Mary University of London to advance qubit development

    Archer Materials, a semiconductor company advancing the quantum technology and medical diagnostics industries, has extended its relationship with Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) to build on critical milestone work for qubit demonstration, as part of Archer’s quantum technology program. The cost of the six month extension is estimated at around A$279,000 or £136,000.Work already completed with QMUL has reportedly been a key part of Archer’s development program. The work being done with QMUL, combined withArcher’s demonstration of coupling of spins to superconducting resonator micro-devices, provides the first building blocks for both readout and control of the electron spins in a qubit. Archer has introduced the CQ chip and in working with QMUL, it is improving the functionality of this project by using graphene to make electrical contact with the carbon nanosphere spin material.
