Light pulses control graphene's electrical behavior

Light pulses control graphene's electrical behavior
Boston MA (SPX) Aug 05, 2014 - Graphene, an ultrathin form of carbon with exceptional electrical, optical, and mechanical properties, has become a focus of research on a variety of potential uses. Now researchers at MIT have found a way to control how the material conducts electricity by using extremely short light pulses, which could enable its use as a broadband light detector. The new findings are published in the jo ... more
