Components Corner: Automotive, Wearable Device Markets Embracing the Supercapacitor
It should come as no surprise that the future of supercapacitors is bright. Supercapacitors, which store higher amounts of charge than traditional electrolytic capacitors and provide higher energy densities than batteries, have been touted for use in applications such as regenerative braking systems in vehicles as well as other industrial applications. In recent weeks, vehicle […]
Decoupled Graphene Thanks to Potassium Bromide
The use of potassium bromide in the production of graphene on a copper surface can lead to better results. When potassium bromide molecules arrange themselves between graphene and copper, it results in electronic decoupling. This alters the electrical properties of the graphene produced, bringing them closer to pure graphene, as reported by physicists from the […]

Flexible Circuits for 3D Printing
A research cooperation between the University of Hamburg and DESY has developed a process suitable for 3D printing that can be used to produce transparent and mechanically flexible electronic circuits. The electronics consists of a mesh of silver nanowires that can be printed in suspension and embedded in various flexible and transparent plastics (polymers). This […]
Unprecedented Insight Into Two-Dimensional Magnets Using Diamond Quantum Sensors
For the first time, physicists at the University of Basel have succeeded in measuring the magnetic properties of atomically thin van der Waals materials on the nanoscale. They used diamond quantum sensors to determine the strength of the magnetization of individual atomic layers of the material chromium triiodide. In addition, they found a long-sought explanation […]
