Silicene nanomesh

Graphene nanomesh

Graphene has significant potential for application in electronics, but cannot be used for effective field-effect transistors operating at room temperature because it is a semimetal with a zero bandgap. Processing graphene sheets into nanoribbons with widths of less than 10 nm can open up a bandgap that is large enough for room-temperature transistor operation, but nanoribbon devices often have ...

Nanomesh on-skin electronics

In many clinical diagnostics, skin serves as a measurement window for quantitative assessments of physiological health. Prominent examples are in biopotential recordings that yield insights into cardiovascular activity, skeletal muscle behaviour and brain function through electrocardiograms, electromyograms and electroencephalograms, respectively. Signals in the latter two cases can also serve ...
