Title: Opportunities and Challenges with Graphene Production and Application
Speaker:
Xiaogan Liang, Ph.D
Nanofabrication Facility, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Description:
Graphene has been extensively studied as a material for making future electronic device. In comparison with conventional semiconductors graphene exhibits exceptional properties, however, two of the challenges for scale-up applications are incorporating graphene over large areas and patterning nanostructures to achieve desirable electronic characteristics.

MELVILLE, NEW YORK, July 15, 2009 - The American Physical Society (APS) and the
American Institute of Physics (AIP) today announced the launch of the Virtual
Journal of Atomic Quantum Fluids (VJAQF). Edited by MIT's Wolfgang Ketterle,
co-recipient of the 2001 Nobel Prize for Physics, along with Markus Greiner of
Harvard University and Peter Zoller of the University of Innsbruck, the new
Virtual Journal (VJ) is now available online at www.vjaqf.org.
VJAQF covers new developments in the study of novel quantum fluids and many-body
Eduard Driessena, and Michiel de Dood, have demonstrated that at a thickness of 4.5 nanometer niobiumnitride (NbN) is ultra-absorbent. They have recorded a light absorption of almost 100%, while the best light absorption prior to this was 50%.
The new discovery gave Driessen and De Dood the idea for building a special detector. They want to use it to view photons. To date this has been very difficult because the absorption was not high enough.

Delaware University scientists have found that not only the latest hi-tech nanotubes or metal composites can store hydrogen effectively, but also a substance that’s been around for millions of years, naturally: carbonized keratin.
Carbonized chicken feather fibers can store hydrogen at least as well as carbon nanotubes or metal hydrides, perhaps even better. The difference between carbonized chicken feathers and the other two is that making a 20 gallon carbon nanotube tank would cost $5.5 million, making it from metal hydrides would cost $30,000, and from chicken feathers only $200. Which one would you choose?
Yale University researchers have created the first solid-state quantum processor. Another step toward the ultimate dream of building a quantum computer. Their findings will appear in Nature’s advanced online publication June 28.
A group of theoretical physicists led by Steven Girvin, the Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics & Applied Physics, the team manufactured two artificial atoms, or qubits.
EngNet is a directory/search engine/buyers guide service aimed specifically at the engineering industry to enable engineers, technicians, tradesmen, etc. to find information and communicate effectively with suppliers in the engineering industry.
Web resources for products including information on parts, manufacturers and suppliers
Chip Directory
This site contains numerically and functionally ordered chip lists, chip pinouts and lists of manufacturers, electronics books, CDROM's, magazines, WWW sites and much more.
Provides online access to the MRS Bulletin (from v.25 #3 March 2000 through the present), Journal of Materials Research (from 1986 through the present), and the MRS Proceedings series. Full text of over 330 Proceedings volumes beginning with Volume 609 (2000) and including almost 20,000 individual papers.
This list includes those databases used most by engineering students and faculty. A more complete list of science and engineering databases is available, or consult the full list of databases available at Stanford.
ACM Digital Library
The ACM Digital Library includes the full text of every article published by ACM, including archives.
Materials property database which allows multiple search routines, including the ability to specify property requirements. Includes coverage of polymers, aluminium and titanic alloys, steels, ceramics and other metals; tables for converting from English to metric units
