Since 1999, MIT's very own publication -- Technology Review -- has highlighted a list of top innovators under the age of 35 aptly named TR35. While the list may be biased, containing only works that the editors find "exciting", the just released "TR35" for 2008 includes a familiar name--Dr. Kostya ...

In a recent article posted as an Advance Online Publication of Nature Nanotechnology, researchers from Rutgers provide even more support of graphene's promise in future nano devices. The researchers compared electronic properties of suspended graphene (SG) --that is, graphene held between two electrodes and not physically in contact with a ...

Trouble is brewing and the carbon wars have begun. It's "sheets" versus "tubes", 2-D vs 3-D, graphene versus nanotubes. Man your battlestations, toss in your bets, and start your research!
Because of some recent news regarding graphene, in this post I will attempt to highlight some of the patentability ...
