UTA physicists use beams of antimatter to investigate the characteristics of advanced materials
Next generation positron beam focuses first on properties of grapheneResearchers at The University of Texas at Arlington are developing a next generation positron beam facility that will enable them to analyze the properties of advanced materials for future electronics applications such as ultra compact high-speed computers and ultra small high-powered batteries. Initial research is focusing on the characteristics of graphene, a versatile pure carbon material 200 times stronger than steel that is expected to provide ecologically-friendly, sustainable solutions across a huge variety of
