The New Yorker: Feature Spotlight: Prof. Tomás Palacios
Material Question: Graphene may be the most remarkable substance ever discovered. But what’s it for?” By John Colapinto (Staff Writer with the New Yorker) …Perhaps the most expansive thinker about the material’s potential is Tomas Palacios, a Spanish scientist who runs the Center for Graphene Devices and 2D Systems, at M.I.T. Rather than using graphene

Jarillo’s and Levitov’s groups demonstrate unusual thermoelectric response in graphene
In research that has just been published in the journal Science, MIT researchers found that shining light on a sheet of graphene, treated so that it had two regions with different electrical properties, creates a temperature difference that, in turn, generates a current. Graphene heats inconsistently when illuminated by a laser, Jarillo-Herrero and his
