A team of Columbia Engineering researchers, led by Mechanical Engineering Professor James Hone and Electrical Engineering Professor Kenneth Shepard, has taken advantage of graphene's special properties--its mechanical strength and electrical conduction--and created a nano-mechanical system that can create FM signals, in effect the world's smallest FM radio transmitter. The study is published online on November 17, in Nature Nanotechnology.
