I’mgetting dizzy. We need to ban hyphenated names. I couldn’t get past Dresden-Schnitzel.

Sorry, bombarding carbon with xenon atoms stripped of up to 35 of their electrons makes me really geek out. I wish I were there.

Once again, graphene has proven itself to be a rather special material:

...

For researchers it is. As far as commercial applications go, it’s a dud.

An amazing element, carbon!

No wonder the Demwits are trying to outlaw it...

Thanks for posting! ;)

Where do these replacement electrons come from? That’s something that I’ve always wondered, even with photoelectrics: The photon drives off electrons to generate a current, but the silicon remains. HOW? Where do the “new” electrons come from?

Graphene is a zero-gap semiconductor, because its conduction and valence bands meet at the Dirac points. The Dirac points are six locations in momentum space, on the edge of the Brillouin zone, divided into two non-equivalent sets of three points. The two sets are labeled K and K'. The sets give graphene a valley degeneracy of gv = 2. By contrast, for traditional semiconductors the primary point of interest is generally Γ, where momentum is zero. Four electronic properties separate it from other condensed matter systems.

Isn’t “Yuge” now a technical/scientific term?

What is the best way to invest in graphene? Seems like the next big wave.

Wow! Sounds to me like they’re close to having the technology for making nano-electric-chairs for executing rogue viruses!

Huge currents on the nano scale

Like "jumbo shrimp", I suppose. Huge currents on the 0.000000001 scale. Well, impressive, on a pico scale.

Writers are weird.
