U of Arkansas researchers found when you form covalent bonds by attaching metals to graphene you destroy the unique eltronic properties of graphene. Didn't use doped graphene in research, which will be used with devices. Electrons at these graph-metal junctions behave like light shone on crystal - some scatter, some go through.
Aixtron (AIXG) sold PECVD system to Institute of Metal Research at Chinese Academy of Sciences. To make carbon nanotubes, graphene. Osaka U also placed order for system to make biosensors combining graphene FETs with organic chemicals, also to make C nanotubes for MEMs, E storage devices.
Norwegian U of Science & Tech researchers found new way to grow GaAs nanowires using molecular beam epitaxy. Excellent optoeltronic properties. Can easily be used with existing production equipment. Started comp with patent - CrayoNano.
TX Tech researching photocatalytic effect of composite graphene materials using TiO(2).
Shenyang National Lab, Rensselaer Poly found new graphene-based foams are excellent water repellents. Graphene grown over nickel foam template later leached away. Remaining graphene foam coated with Teflon.
Singapore's A*STAR researchers say graphene may be hazardous, toxic. Graphite, graphite oxide, graphene oxide kill bacteria. Graphene oxide the most dangerous.
Cornell U researchers making thin, flexible, transparent graphene and boron-nitride films. Could lead to substrate-free, atom-thin circuits. "Patterned regrowth."
IBM, U Cal researchers made slimmest graphene nanoribbon ever - 10nm.
