A tiny squeeze dramatically changes the magnetism of exotic materials
Scientists have discovered that a simple mechanical squeeze can dramatically alter the magnetic properties and electrical behavior of exotic materials called altermagnets. The surprising breakthrough could open the door to faster, more energy-efficient electronics and...
SLAC scientists find conclusive proof of a mysterious third type of magnetism
For nearly 90 years, scientists believed magnetism fell into just two categories, but researchers have now confirmed a remarkable third type called altermagnetism. Using specialized X-rays, they uncovered a unique magnetic signature that proves these materials behave...
VN Graphene Global inaugurates its graphene production plant in Gia Lai
VN Graphene Global has inaugurated its Graphene Production and Application Plant at Nhon Hoi A Industrial Park in Gia Lai province, Vietnam. The project represents a total investment of 202 billion VND (about US$7.8 million) and has a designed capacity of 3,600 kg of...
Six-layer rhombohedral graphene shows new superconducting and electrically switchable magnetic states
Researchers at Cornell University, the National Institute for Materials Science (Japan) and the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter have found new superconducting and magnetic states in rhombohedral hexalayer graphene, a stack of six graphene...
New technique films light-driven quantum tunneling of electrons in graphene
Researchers at the University of Regensburg, Philipps University of Marburg, Forschungszentrum Jülich, the Jülich Aachen Research Alliance (JARA) and RWTH Aachen University have directly imaged how the electric field of a light pulse drives electrons across the energy...
AirMembrane raises funding to prepare mass production of graphene EUV pellicles
Venture firm Global Brain has led a new funding round in AirMembrane, a Japanese developer and manufacturer of graphene pellicles for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. Global Brain invested through its Global Brain Flagship Fund IX. The TAKANAWA GATEWAY Global...
Voltage-defined “guardrails” could let graphene separate light-generated charges
Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and TU Dresden, led by Ralf Schützhold, director of the HZDR Institute of Theoretical Physics, have proposed a new way to extract electrical current from light absorbed by graphene, using electrode...
Perpetuus graphene masterbatch could save tire makers about 165 kWh per ton of compound
Perpetuus Advanced Materials has announced the results of an industrial production assessment of its surface-engineered graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) masterbatch in truck and bus radial (TBR) tire production. The company says the masterbatch eliminated two mixing...
