The graphene is a material discovered a couple of years ago, and it’s one of the most important materials in physics. This material has enourmous implications in nanotechnology, and could lead to the development of the next-gen devices. After receiveing numerous praises thanks to its properties, graphene is pushing the boundaries once more. According to [...]

Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin have announced the development of a two-atom thick superconducting sheet, a layer which could have enormous implications in next-gen devices. Superconductors are materials which have the ability to maintain electrical current on indefinite period without a power source, and they are very common in particle accelerators, quantum-interference devices, [...]
