Graphene brings 3-D holograms clearer and closer

From mobile phones and computers to television, cinema and wearable devices, the display of full colour, wide-angle, 3D holographic images is moving ever closer to fruition, thanks to international research featuring Griffith University ("Athermally photoreduced graphene oxides for three-dimensional...

Chemists' synthesis of silicon oxides opens 'new world in a grain of sand'

Gregory H. Robinson is the University of Georgia Foundation Distinguished Professor of Chemistry. The study, published April 20 in the journal ("Stabilization of elusive silicon oxides"), gives details on the first time chemists have been able to trap molecular species of silicon oxides. Using a technique they developed in 2008, the UGA team succeeded...

A light switch for superconductivity

A device that can be switched between insulating and superconducting states by irradiation with light has been developed by researchers from RIKEN and the Institute for Molecular Science (, "Light-induced superconductivity using a photoactive electric double layer"). The development could ultimately lead to more efficient superconducting microelectronics....
