Three Steps to a Better World: Cleaner Oil Discovery
Supported by a Lutchen Fellowship undergraduate research grant, Samir Ahmed, an electrical engineering major, is developing a novel, durable nano-scale pressure sensing device that will help geologists find oil deposits. Ahmed’s sensors are a [...]hundred times smaller than a grain of sand and consist of a silicon wafer and small cylindrical chambers with membranes made of graphene, a carbon material that is only one atom thick, and has very strange mechanical and electrical properties. The sensors may someday measure pressure in underground rock structures to provide valuable information for oil extraction.

Graphene and the Undergrad: A Love Story
“Mind blowing.†“Amazing.†“Weird.†Descriptions like these are usually reserved for the latest indie band to rock BU Central. But for Claire Thomas (CAS’10), they’re the perfect way to convey her [...]love for physics and a certain two-dimensional carbon material called graphene — a small piece of graphite commonly found in pencils.
