Graphene is a one-layer carbon material, discovered relatively recent, in 2004. It features a lot of interesting properties, and it can be used in power-saving electronic devices, fact that gives it green credits.

MIT researchers discovered another use to graphene. They discovered that it can successfully be used in frequency multiplying applications. Frequency multiplying is the phenomenon that takes place in every cell phone, TV set or radio device. The problems with frequency multiplying until now were the noise that appeared when you got over a certain threshold, and the complexity of the device doing that. Continue reading »

Carbon nanotubes are getting green credits lately, because of their ever new interesting properties. Besides those credits, scientists have discovered other phenomena that could boost wireless communications, also with a green twist.

Researchers from the University of Cincinnati have discovered new uses of spinning carbon nanotubes into longer fibers with additional useful properties. Vesselin Shanov and Mark Schultz created the powerful nanotubes, that are stronger than steel at a much lower density. Continue reading »
