New graphene oxide-based catalyst boosts zinc-air battery performance
Researchers at CICATA-Legaria, the National Laboratory for Energy Conversion and Storage at Mexico's Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN) in Mexico City, have developed a composite of pyridine-coordinated transition-metal nitroprussides and reduced graphene oxide...
Biodegradable graphene-oxide platform senses neurotransmitters, modulates brain astrocyte signaling
Researchers at Italy's National Research Council (CNR) - specifically its Institute for Organic Synthesis and Photoreactivity (Cnr-Isof) and Institute of Nanostructured Materials (Cnr-Ismn) - working with Ca' Foscari University of Venice, the University of Ferrara,...
Premier Graphene, HGI deliver second batch of tactical belts under Mexico’s SEDENA contract
Premier Graphene (OTC: BIEI) and joint venture partner HGI Industrial Technologies have delivered a second batch of tactical belts to the Dirección General de Fábrica de Vestuario y Equipo (FAVE), a division of Mexico's Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional (SEDENA),...
Scientists switch on a strange new form of magnetism in an ultrathin material
Scientists have found a surprising way to potentially switch on an unusual form of magnetism in ruthenium dioxide, a material that normally appears nonmagnetic. When the material was made into an ultrathin film only a few atomic layers thick and placed under...
Newspaper cellulose enables tap-water processing of e-waste graphite into graphene
Researchers at Dublin City University (DCU), led by materials scientist Conor Boland, have shown that graphene can be produced from electronic-waste graphite using little more than a kitchen blender, waste newspaper and ordinary tap water, extending the group's...
Argo Graphene amends $1 million financing, advances STREAM graphene commercialization
Argo Graphene Solutions Corp. (CSE: ARGO), developer of the STREAM™ graphene production platform, has amended the terms of the non-brokered private placement it announced earlier this month. Under the revised terms, Argo now proposes to issue up to 1,250,000 units...
Atomic catalyst unlocks the hidden value of plant waste
Scientists have created a highly efficient catalyst that breaks down stubborn lignin from plant waste into useful chemicals under relatively mild conditions. By revealing exactly how the catalyst works at the atomic level, the discovery could help turn forestry and...
GMG launches G FLUID, a graphene-based coolant additive for data center cooling systems
Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) has launched G FLUID™, a patent-pending graphene water-based additive designed to improve heat transfer and curb microbial growth in data center and industrial cooling circuits. The product is sold as a 1-liter concentrate dosed...
First Graphene builds one of the industry’s broadest and most commercially advanced graphene platforms
First Graphene (ASX:FGR, FRA:M11, OTCQB:FGPHF) is emerging as one of the most commercially advanced companies in the global graphene industry, through delivery of a viable and scalable product range, proven to enhance performance of materials across a wide range of...
Physicists create a tiny “Big Bang” with surprisingly small atomic nuclei
Researchers at CERN have created microscopic versions of the early Universe by colliding surprisingly small atomic nuclei at nearly the speed of light. The collisions produced quark-gluon plasma, the ultra-hot matter believed to have filled the cosmos shortly after...
