Distant entangled atoms acting as one sensor deliver stunning precision
Researchers have demonstrated that quantum entanglement can link atoms across space to improve measurement accuracy. By splitting an entangled group of atoms into separate clouds, they were able to measure electromagnetic fields more precisely than before. The...
Researchers use agricultural waste to produce graphene
Researchers from Australia's James Cook University and Flinders University recently announced they successfully used cheap agricultural byproduct, nanocellulose, to make graphene - using only water, rather than harsh chemicals. The team took cellulose derived from...
Why you should not miss Graphene Connect 2026
Graphene Connect 2026 is fast becoming the must‑attend virtual gathering for the global graphene and 2D materials ecosystem, and there has never been a better time to secure your place. Over two days on 11–12 March 2026, industry leaders, researchers, and...
Rice team replicates Edison’s 1879 experiments to show graphene may have been unintentional byproduct
Rice University researchers from the lab of James Tour have shown that Thomas Edison’s original 1879 carbon-filament light bulbs possibly included a graphene-forming regime, suggesting that one of history’s most iconic inventions may have inadvertently produced...
Novel graphene oxide origami sheets could promote next-gen soft robots
Researchers at Canada's McGill University recently reported two separate studies focused on the development of ultra-thin materials based on graphene oxide films, that can move, fold, and reshape themselves, opening new possibilities for soft robotics and adaptive...
Monash-led team secures funding to develop graphene oxide sensor for early cancer detection
Monash Health and Monash University have received a $100,000 research grant from the Love Your Sister Foundation, through the Monash Health Foundation, to develop a graphene oxide (GO)-based biosensor for early cancer detection using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)....
Physicists challenge a 200-year-old law of thermodynamics at the atomic scale
A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional efficiency limit set by Carnot nearly 200 years ago. By tapping into...
Researchers unlocked a new shortcut to quantum materials
Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting them with extreme lasers. By harnessing excitons, short-lived energy pairs that naturally form inside semiconductors, researchers can alter...
A tiny spin change just flipped a famous quantum effect
When quantum spins interact, they can produce collective behaviors that defy long-standing expectations. Researchers have now shown that the Kondo effect behaves very differently depending on spin size. In systems with small spins, it suppresses magnetism, but when...
Levidian and Kanoo Energy secure second graphene order in the Middle East
Levidian has announced a second order for a tonne of graphene in the Middle East, to be supplied through its strategic partner Kanoo Energy, part of Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo Company Limited, to a large-scale industrial client in Saudi Arabia.The order follows...
