Chalmers researchers develop graphene film

A Chalmers University spin-off is about commercialise a graphene assembled  film technology. Researchers at the Swedish university have developed a graphene assembled film that has over 60% higher thermal conductivity than graphite film – despite the fact that graphite simply consists of many layers of graphene. The graphene film shows potential as a novel heat ...

Nottingham prints molecular 3D memory

The University of Nottingham has 3D printed materials that contain molecules that reversibly change state in response to stimuli – demonstrating the concept by developing a photo-active molecule that changes from colourless to blue when irradiated with light, then back by exposure to oxygen from the air, and a tailor-made polymer to support it. “We ...

Laser tunes like chameleon skin

A team from the US Northwestern University has developed a laser that changes colours using the same mechanism as chameleons. “Chameleons can easily change their colours by controlling the spacing among the nano-crystals on their skin, which determines the colour we observe,” said Professor Teri Odom. “This colouring based on surface structure is chemically stable ...
