Thanks To Australian Scientists, We Can Now See Electrons Moving Through Materials Only One Atom Thick
University of Melbourne researchers are now able to show how electrons move in ultra-thin material down to only one atom in thickness – a world first. This breakthrough will help us better understand electric currents in devices based on graphene, for example.

Crumpled Graphene Can Be Even Better Than The Flat Stuff
Screwing up a nice flat sheet of paper is usually a sign of failure — but if the material’s graphene, it may be a good idea. Researchers have shown that crumpling the carbon-based material can actually provide it with some impressive new properties.

Graphene-Infused Bike Tyres Automatically Get Softer While Cornering For Better Grip
Graphene, that atomic-scale super material that promises to revolutionise everything from batteries to robots, is already improving the cycling world. Vittoria’s new graphene-infused Mezcal and Morsa bike tyres are lightweight, thin, grippy and everything a cyclist wants in a tyre without any tradeoffs.

Scientists Can Watch Electrons Cool Down In 30 Quadrillionths Of A Second
How fast can the thermometer drop? If you’re a physicist armed with a graphene sandwich, it could be as fast as 30 quadrillionths of a seconds, at least if you’re studying electrons.
