50 year quest ends with creation of silicon aromatic once thought impossible
After nearly 50 years of failed attempts and scientific speculation, chemists at Saarland University have achieved what many thought might be impossible: creating a long-sought silicon-based aromatic molecule. By replacing carbon atoms in a famously stable...
Divea secures FIT funding to promote graphene-based carbon capture membranes
The Foundation for Innovation and Technology (FIT) has granted new financing to three start-ups in Western Switzerland, supporting innovations in renewable energy, food safety and industrial decarbonization.Among the three startups is Divea, which secured a CHF...
Scientists create ultra-low loss optical device that traps light on a chip
CU Boulder researchers have designed microscopic “racetracks” that trap and amplify light with exceptional efficiency. By using smooth curves inspired by highway engineering, they reduced energy loss and kept light circulating longer inside the device. Fabricated...

GMG partners with Tickford Racing to trial graphene products on the racing track
Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) has partnered with Tickford Racing, one of Australia's leading Supercars teams, to trial liquid graphene products on the racing track. Under the new partnership, Tickford Racing will trial GMG's liquid graphene products across its...
Quantum computer breakthrough tracks qubit fluctuations in real time
Qubits, the heart of quantum computers, can change performance in fractions of a second — but until now, scientists couldn’t see it happening. Researchers at NBI have built a real-time monitoring system that tracks these rapid fluctuations about 100 times faster...
Oxford breakthrough could make lithium-ion batteries charge faster and last much longer
Oxford researchers have found a way to visualize one of the most hidden — yet critical — components inside lithium-ion batteries. By tagging polymer binders with traceable markers, they revealed how these tiny materials are distributed at the nanoscale and how that...
