University of Cambridge purchases AIXTRON tool for 2D/layered materials-based photonic devices

The UK's University of Cambridge has purchased a Close Coupled Showerhead® system for 2D materials from AIXTRON SE for its research and development in the field of photonics and optoelectronics. The AIXTRON system enables wafer scale growth of layered materials (2D materials). This allows the integration with silicon photonics to produce highly efficient and high speed optical data communication devices.

AIXTRON's Close Coupled Showerhead® (CCS) system is set in a 200mm configuration and is currently being installed at the Cambridge Graphene Centre to be used for the UK's Layered Materials Research Foundry (LMRF). The LMRF will focus its research on graphene and other layered materials to deliver, at a pilot scale to end users, a fully integrated silicon photonics platform.

Graphene-based artificial tongue displays near-human sense of taste

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Shandong University of Technology have developed a new graphene oxide-based sensor design that, through machine learning, was able to develop a near-human sense of taste. This device is uniquely able to operate in a moist environment, better approximating the conditions inside the human mouth.

The sensor was made of multiple layers of graphene oxide enclosed in a nanofluidic device. Graphene oxide is known to change its electrical conductivity when exposed to different chemicals. The researchers used this property to measure electrical variations in the sensor when it was exposed to a sampling of 160 chemicals, each associated with a unique flavor profile. Using these data, a machine-learning algorithm was able to create a 'memory' of flavors.
