Materials Views Interviews: Martin Pumera
Following up on his recent essay, “Will the real Graphene please stand up?”, Materials Views caught up with Professor Martin Pumera from the Nanyang Technological University, to find out more his views on science and his research.
Will the real Graphene please stand up?
Professor Martin Pumera shares his thoughts on the accurate identification of graphene and its related structures in research.
Inner Values Trump Exterior
Metal-organic frameworks surpass feasible nanoparticle powders in surface area and come close to the ultimate adsorption limit for solids.
How Big an Impact?
As Impact Factor fever sweeps the academic world, we take a closer look at Impact Factors in general, and the performance of Advanced Materials in Impact Factor 2009. No vuvuzelas or video technology allowed…
Electronics made from ribbons
Tapered nano-sized ribbons have been made by tearing sheets of graphene from a sticky surface.
