Graphene sensor could enable early and fast detection of pancreatic cancer (The Graphene Council)
Researchers have developed a graphene platform which could support the rapid diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is the second most fatal cancer and the seventh-leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Despite recent progress in cancer diagnosis and treatment, the overall survival rate in this type of cancer has only slight improvement over the past decade.
Probing the intricate structures of 2D Materials at the nanoscale (The Graphene Council)
Two-dimensional (2D) materials are just a single or a few layers of atoms thick. These materials often have exotic properties that may be useful for next-generation technologies. When layers of these materials are stacked, the electronic properties that emerge can be manipulated by, for example, twisting the layers with respect to one another.
