"Last Christmas Eve, my legally blind, adult daughter died of an accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. That's when I learned that this "silent killer" can take a life in minutes. Ashley was home alone that night."

New carbon-based material derived from graphene advances nanoelectronics
Nanowerk LLC The discovery, which the researchers are calling "graphene monoxide (GMO)," pushes carbon materials closer to ushering in next-generation electronics… In one experiment, they heated the GO in a vacuum to reduce oxygen. Instead of being destroyed, however, the carbon and oxygen atoms in the layers of GO became aligned, transforming themselves into the "ordered," semiconducting GMO – a carbon oxide that does not exist in nature.
