Scientists from the Novosibirsk Nikolayev Inorganic Chemistry Institute and the Krasnoyarsk Biophysics Institute have invented a new composite material made of graphene and nano-diamonds. By placing nano-diamonds on the surface of vertically aligned tubes of graphene (probably carbon nanotubes), the scientists created a unique composite material that glows under the impact of a weak electric field.
The researchers say this is the prototype of a tiny light fixture, a nano-tube with a glowing nano-diamond on top. Such structures can be used in a variety of fields, from new types of displays to health diagnostics techniques.
