Des écrans 3D transparents et mobiles développés par HP
by Jean-Christophe Lavocat in Presstor
HP a mis au point un écran 3D pour les appareils mobiles qui ne nécessite pas de lunettes et vient d'être révélé dans la revue scientifique Nature. Cet écran utilise les nanotechnologies pour émettre la lumière de manière homogène selon différents angles de projection. L'effet 3D est visible même si l'on regarde la surface à 45 degrés....

De nouveaux matériaux magnéto-électriques promettent des progrès dans l'informatique
by Jean-Christophe Lavocat in Presstor
Des physiciens ont mis au point de nouvelles méthodes de contrôle de l'ordre magnétique dans une classe particulière de matériaux dit "magnéto-électriques." Les magnéto-électriques tirent leur nom du fait que leurs propriétés magnétiques et électriques sont couplées les unes aux autres. Ce lien physique permet potentiellement le contrôle de leur comportement magnétique d&#........ Read more »

What kind of graphene for which application ?
by Jean-Christophe Lavocat in Graphenea ~ News about Graphene
The development of graphene has a very high pace. The production of graphene is made in different ways, for instance by chemical vapor deposition or by growth on Si, and the applications and quality vary a lot. In this blog post we will try to help you deciding which kind of graphene is good for a given application. We will also introduce you to the ratio price/quality that has a real importance for mass scale production.

Nasa is developping graphene based sensors
by Jean-Christophe Lavocat in Graphenea ~ News about Graphene
The famous US aerospace and aeronautics agency NASA is currently developing sensors based on graphene. The main leader of the initiative, Mahmooda Sultana, joined NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt two years ago. She had since then won research and development fundings to install graphene production facilities.... Read more »

A bandgap semiconductor nanostructure made entirely from graphene
by Jean-Christophe Lavocat in Graphenea ~ News about Graphene
In 2005, when Andre Geim and Philip Kim separately worked on graphene's electrons and showed that the material was showing a zero-bandgap, this came as a very curious feature that people would probably use. This zero-bandgap property makes that graphene is not a real semi-conductor and could not be used directly by the industry. Many successful attempts were made to create a band gap in graphene, by using doped graphene, nanoribbons or by using an electric field between a bi-layered graphen........ Read more »
