Fast flowing heat in graphene heterostructures

Nanoscale heat flow plays a crucial role in many modern electronic and optoelectronic applications, such as thermal management, photodetection, thermoelectrics and data communication. Two-dimensional layered materials are beginning to confirm their groundbreaking role in many of these applications. Perhaps even more promising are so-called van der Waals heterostructures, consisting of different layered two-dimensional materials stacked Read more about Fast flowing heat in graphene heterostructures[…]

Quantum Teleportation

Quantum teleportation is a key ingredient in Quantum Information Science. It is one of the most striking demonstrations of the power of quantum mechanics for information processing, allowing for a real transmission of information of an unknown quantum state between two systems that are separated by a macroscopic distance. Besides it serves as a crucial Read more about Quantum Teleportation[…]

Graphene and Quantum Dots put in motion a CMOS-integrated camera that can see the invisible

Over the past 40 years, microelectronics has advanced by leaps and bounds thanks to silicon and CMOS (Complementary metal-oxide semiconductors) technology, making possible computing, smartphones, compact and low-cost digital cameras, as well as most of the electronic gadgets we rely on today. However, the diversification of this platform into applications other than microcircuits and visible Read more about Graphene and Quantum Dots put in motion a CMOS-integrated camera that can see the invisible[…]
