Graphene Monoxide Turns Graphene Into a Monoxide

[Guest]

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee claim to have discovered a new carbon material that should push graphene-based electronics much closer to commercial reality.

"Graphene Monoxide Turns Graphene Into a Monoxide"

Is it just me or does the headline not make any sense ?

These schnozberries taste like schnozberries!

Nope the title make zero since at all. By the title Graphene Monoxide (which was created from heating Graphene) turns Graphene into a Monoxide. Chicken meet your egg.

Maybe "Heat turns Graphene Into Graphene Monoxide"

This is an interesting article, but I have one problem with it:

Graphene Monoxide Turns Graphene Into a Monoxide

Am I missing something, or is there a typo here? That seems to be like saying that alloying steel with aluminum makes the new alloy turn the steel into an aluminum alloy. It's like trying to state the obvious, but then not making sense when you actually think about the sentence.

Yea, it's more like "Heat turns Graphene oxide into Graphene monoxide"

The effective result, is the Graphene "burning" without decomposing. The end result is a carbon (graphene)-oxide material that is exceptionally efficient at thermal transfer (according to their accidental discovery). It seems similar to how Thomas Edison created his Carbon filiments.

This is a Noble Prize discovery. Mark my word

Suggested title change: "Thermolysis of Graphene Oxide in an Oxygen-free Environment Produces Graphene Monoxide"

The title is awful. Please fix it. It makes zero sense. Any Editor should catch that. Graphene monoxide does not make graphene into a monoxide, the researchers did that.

The best things are discovered by accident, like peanut butter with chocolate.

Oh yeah, that just clears it up for me ten fold ...

Good accident..

Replace thermolysis with heating and it looks good to me.

LOL, "Chicken meet your egg" Classic!

Descriptive title is descriptive.

Can we have our graphene-based CPU now?

 

[NatureTM]

Nice to see my school make some news again. I'll have to congratulate these guys if I see them around the EMS building.

 

[doive1231]

Not as "planar" though, is it?

i am with the ppl who are saying the title is wrong as it just plain is and it should be changed b/c it is but it is still a good discovery as it is getting closer to having a graphene-based heat sink to go over your computer parts. In this @mhawk13 no you will not have a graphene-based CPU as that is not what the alloy is good at its not conductive but not to conductive enough to form a CPU material but it is in Intel's trigate so in a way if you get a CPU with Intel's trigate tech in it you have your graphene CPU even though the graphene is for stopping the crosstalk in the electric flow.

I was hesitant to click on the link because of the poorly-worded title...

I don't think they hand out Nobel Prizes for 'accidents'.
It would make a farce out of education.

An alloy must contain metal. Neither graphene nor oxygen is metalic, so it is not an alloy. Also, the idea was that this could replace silicon. Both this graphene monoxide and silicon are semi-conductors and that is what the question referred to. In fact, it was a valid question because it was asking about when graphene would replace silicon.
