Graphite could be the basis for a new class of nano-scale electronic devices using established microelectronics manufacturing techniques. Graphite could be the basis for a new class of nanometre-scale ...

When a current is run though a 10-atom-thick layer of graphite, a small gap — only two nanometers in size — is immediately formed, effectively breaking the circuit in two electrically ...

Yao went to the mat for his idea. He first substituted a variety of materials for graphite and found none of them changed the circuit's performance. Then he dropped the carbon and metal entirely ...

Now, however, scientists have developed an elegant method for selectively changing the very nature of the paper itself into conductive graphite. Unlike polymer-based flexible circuits, these paper ...

A team of MIT chemists have created a carbon nanotube "lead" that can be used to draw freehand electronic circuits using a ... is usually fashioned out of graphite and a clay binder.

Increasing demand for high-voltage electrical contacts is driving the demand for these types of silver graphite. A switch that completes or breaks circuits that alter an electrical current using a ...
