(Nanowerk Spotlight) Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice, has captivated researchers since its discovery due to its extraordinary properties.

TMDs, or Transition Metal Dichalcogenides, are a novel class of two-dimensional materials with characteristics ranging from metals (e.g., NbTe 2, TaS 2) to superconductors (e.g., NbSe 2, NbS 2, PdTe 2 ...

Chemical vapour deposition (CVD) is an established technology for coating a wide range of metal cutting tools, including drills, hacksaws, band saws, razor blades and inserts. In some cases, CVD can ...

Unlike other CVD methods, our procedure can produce spheres at large scale without relying on hazardous gas and liquid feedstocks. Carbon spheres are also being examined for potential use in batteries ...

Graphene has been called "the wonder material of the 21st century." Since its discovery in 2004, the material—a single layer of carbon atoms—has been touted for its host of unique properties, which ...

Since their discovery in 1991, researchers have made steady progress in CNT synthesis methods. Early techniques like arc discharge and laser ablation could produce small quantities of high-quality ...

Medical implants often carry surface substrates that release ac-tive substances or to which biomolecules or cells can adhere better. However, degradable gas-phase coatings for degradable implants, ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Updating past pooled cohort equations improved the accuracy of CVD risk estimates and indicated a reduction in ...

There are many ways to deposit a nanosized film, in what is termed ‘bottom-up’ deposition methods. Nanosized films can also be produced by top-down approaches—such as lithography or etching—where ...
