SubscribeGraphene nanoribbons exhibit cool edge effects
May 9, 2011:
Michael Crommie and physicists at UC Berkeley, Berkeley Lab and Stanford have for the first time measured the electronic properties at the edges of graphene ribbons, confirming unique effects that make nanoribbons promising electronic devices.
NSF awards $24.5 million for center to stem increase of electronics power draw
February 23, 2010:
The NSF has awarded $24.5 million to UC Berkeley researchers to head an ambitious, multi-institutional center that could one day lead to a million-fold reduction in power consumption by electronics. The researchers said such a dramatic increase in energy efficiency could allow the digital revolution to continue well beyond the limits that would otherwise be imposed by its growing demand for energy.
