Graphene ICs: IBM builds graphene transistors into a circuit

About one week before IBM celebrated its 100th year, IBM researchers published in the journal Science [10 June 2011, paywalled, Wafer-Scale Graphene Integrated Circuit] and publicly announced the design of a high speed graphene circuit. Since there are announcements about this or that new application of graphene just about every week, it would be easy [...]

Biosensors: A sensor/probe inside a single cell

Can scientists put sensors inside single cells? The answer used to be, yes, but not without damaging the cell (a little or a lot). Cells, human or otherwise, are very small. Human cells vary from nerve cells at about 10 microns (that’s millionths of a meter) to 50 microns for heart cells (still very small). [...]
