Researchers “Iron out” Graphene’s Wrinkles

New technique produces highly conductive graphene wafers. From an electron’s point of view, graphene must be a hair-raising thrill ride. For years, scientists have observed that electrons can blitz through graphene at velocities approaching the speed of light, far faster than they can travel through silicon and other semiconducting materials. Graphene, therefore, has been touted

Snake bit? UCI Chemists Develop Broad-Spectrum, Cheap Snake Venom Antidote

Chemists at the University of California, Irvine have developed a way to neutralize deadly snake venom more cheaply and effectively than with traditional anti-venom – an innovation that could spare millions of people the loss of life or limbs each year. In the U.S., human snakebite deaths are rare – about five a year –
