ONR Sponsors Award-Winning Nanotechnology Researchers
Arlington, Va.— Two nanotechnology researchers whose work is sponsored by the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR) are among Scientific American´s SA-50, a list of 50 American technology and policy leaders for 2006. A third ONR-funded nanotechnology investigator has earned a 2006 TR35 Young Innovator award from MIT´s Technology Review. Each year, this publication´s editors honor 35 researchers under the age of 35 whose work they deem "most exciting."
Carbon in Two Dimensions
Philip Kim of Columbia University, one of the Scientific American 50 awardees, led one of two independent research groups (the other was led by Andre Geim of the University of Manchester) that confirmed experimentally the electronic behavior of the novel material graphene. Graphene, a form of carbon, is essentially a single atomic layer of graphite in which the carbon atoms are arranged in a flat sheet of interconnected hexagons, in much the same fashion as "chicken wire" or hexagonal floor tile. Carbon nanotubes, tiny cylinders that are finding application in a variety of fields, are a tubular form of graphene.
