How to make graphene superconducting
Graphene is the physical realization of many fundamental concepts and phenomena in solid state-physics, but in the long list of graphene remarkable properties, a fundamental block is missing: superconductivity. Making graphene superconducting is relevant as the easy manipulation of this material by nanolytographic techniques paves the way to nanosquids, one-electron superconductor-quantum dot devices, superconducting transistors […]
Detecting Gravitational Waves from Earth
May 28, 2011
German researchers from the Albert Einstein Institute (AEI) say that the likelihood of detecting proposed universal patterns called gravitational waves from Earth could increase significantly if just a single new detector is installed on Earth. Thus far, these structures were not identified, but detectors are being built to do so. The expected rate of detection […]
