A Material Quest: Building Technology with Atomic Layers

Event

Nearly two decades ago, one atomic layer of carbon, popularly referred to as graphene, was separated from graphite and since then, the world has witnessed the birth of a new generation of electronic field-effect transistors. This breakthrough was soon followed by the discovery of new forms of ‘two-dimensional’ materials and led to a revolution that has now infiltrated into a multitude of sectors of technology, from electronics to health and environment, from composites to aviation, and from energy to quantum devices.

In this session, Arindam Ghosh will highlight how the unique fundamental physics of graphene and its analogues has brought about a paradigm shift in several technologies – from electronics, opto-electronics & sensing, and thermoelectricity, to neuromorphic designs. Prof. Ghosh will also emphasize the opportunity in designing new properties, probing fundamental concepts, and large-scale manufacturing, using this astounding class of two-dimensional solids.
