Label-free spectromicroscopy methods offer the capability to examine complex cellular phenomena. Electron and X-ray-based spectromicroscopy methods, though powerful, have been hard to implement with hydrated objects due to the vacuum…
Exercising direct control over the unusual electronic structures arising from quantum confinement effects in graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) - atomically defined quasi one-dimensional (1D) strips of graphene - is intimately linked to geometric…
Graphene-based laminates, with ultralong and tortuous nanocapillaries formed by simply stacking graphene flakes together, have great promises in filtration and separation. However, the information on liquid water trans-membrane permeation…
We demonstrate a new design of graphene liquid cell consisting of a thin lithographically patterned hexagonal boron nitride crystal encapsulated from both sides with graphene windows. The ultra-thin window liquid cells produced have…
Graphene nanoribbons with sub-nanometer widths are extremely interesting for nanoscale electronics and devices as they combine the unusual transport properties of graphene with the opening of a band gap due to quantum confinement in the…
A nano-stitching method is proposed and investigated to modify graphene bilayers. Based this method, four types of low energy carbon allotropes, "wormhole graphene" allotropoes, are obtained and their structures, stabilities and electronic…
Dielectrophoretic (DEP) sensing is an extremely important sensing modality that enables the rapid capture and detection of polarizable particles of nano-scale size. This makes it a versatile tool for applications in medical diagnostics,…
There has been an increasing interest in atom probe tomography (APT) to characterise hydrated and biological materials. A major benefit of APT compared to microscopy techniques more commonly used in biology is its combination of outstanding…
Various properties of water are affected by confinement as the space-filling of the water molecules is very different from bulk water. In our study, we challenged the creation of a stable system in which water molecules are permanently…
The synthesis, physical, photocatalytic, and antibacterial properties of MgO and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) nanocomposites are reported. The crystallinity, phase, morphology, chemical bonding, and vibrational modes of prepared…
Knowledge of the topology of the electronic ground state of materials has led to deep insights to novel phenomena such as the integer quantum Hall effect and fermion-number fractionalization, as well as other properties of matter. Joining…
Nano-rippled graphene, a structurally modified graphene, presents a novel material with a large range of possible applications including sensors, electrodes, coatings, optoelectronics, spintronics and straintronics. In this work we have…
Understanding the phase behaviors of nanoconfined water has driven notable research interests recently. In this work, we examine the structures and thermodynamics of water encapsulated under a graphene cover. We find layered water…
An analytical device model for a graphene nanoribbon phototransistor (GNR-PT) is presented. GNR-PT is based on an array of graphene nanoribbons with the side source and drain contacts, which is sandwiched between the highly conducting…
A significant advance toward achieving practical applications of graphene as a two-dimensional material in nanoelectronics would be provided by successful synthesis of both n-type and p-type doped graphene. However reliable doping and a…
Graphene holds great potential for superconductivity due to its pure two-dimensional nature, the ability to tune its carrier density through electrostatic gating, and its unique, relativistic-like electronic properties. At present, we are…
Growing graphene nanoribbons from small organic molecules encapsulated in carbon nanotubes can result in products with uniform width and chirality. We propose a method based on encapsulation of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene from the liquid phase…
We propose a new class of semiconducting graphene-based nanostructures: hydrogenated graphene nanoripples (HGNRs), based on continuum-mechanics analysis and first principles calculations. They are formed via a two-step combinatorial…
Graphene-induced energy transfer (GIET) is a recently developed fluorescence-spectroscopic technique that achieves sub-nanometric optical localization of fluorophores along the optical axis of a microscope. GIET is based on the near-field…
Nanoparticles (NPs) are promising therapeutic delivery agents, yet it is increasingly apparent that the number and manner of presentation of cell binding ligands on the NP can affect the eventual fate of the therapeutic. Whenever NPs are…
