More information on graphene here.
Meanwhile, researchers in Germany and Latvia show that a single electron pump can be used to manipulate spin. This could be used to create a spintronics device – which is the future of electronics (using spin and not just the electron charge). More on this on the Spintronics site.
Meanwhile, meanwhile, Fraunhofer institute in Germany (the guys behind MP3 and other great inventions) show a prototype of a bi-directional OLED microdisplay with an imaging CMOS photo diode matrix interlaced in a QVGA display (12 x 9 mm2), both are integrated and work at the CMOS chip.
OLEDs can be integrated on Silicon wafers, that opens the way for great new applications, such as this new sensor. More…
