A new approach to water desalination
MIT researchers are using graphene layers to create a new kind of filtration material that can be far more efficient and possibly less expensive than existing desalination systems. The details of this new technology are explained in a recent paper in the journal NanoLetters here. (The paper is also available in the password protected part

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
