Light pulses control graphene’s electrical behavior The ultrathin form of carbon known as graphene, which possesses exceptional electrical, optical, and mechanical properties, has emerged as the focus of research into numerous potential applications. Using extremely short light pulses, researchers at MIT have now discovered a method for controlling the material’s electricity conductivity, which could make […]

Nanocomposite research yields strong and stretchy fibers Creating artificial substances that are both stretchy and strong has long been an elusive engineering goal. Inspired by spider silk, a naturally occurring strong and stretchy substance, MIT researchers have now devised a way to produce a material that begins to mimic this combination of desirable properties. Such […]
