... electrons to carry current. Undeterred by this apparent restriction, researchers from IMB’s T.J. Watson Research Centre in New York have managed to separate the electron-hole pairs using internal electric fields and reported the first graphene photodetector in 2009. This separation was achieved by placing...

... is a highly compartmentalised industry. A presentation by the author of this review gave an overview of university sensor research in the UK, with an emphasis on physical and gas sensors. The role of the Gas Analysis and Sensing Group (GASG) was also explained (www.gasg.org.uk) and like SWIG, the group...
