Scientists crushed diamond beyond Neptune-like pressures—and solved a 20-year mystery
Extreme experiments have revealed how diamond behaves at crushing pressures beyond those inside Neptune and Uranus, resolving a decades-old conflict between theory and observation. The results could help scientists boost fusion energy output while revealing more...
Paragraf launches PMF2002 graphene sensing platform with new data acquisition system
UK-based Paragraf has launched two new products expanding its graphene sensing portfolio: the PMF2002 Graphene Field-Effect Transistor (GFET) Platform and the Enterprise Reader data acquisition system, designed to work together to take users from sensor development...
MIT physicists discover electrons rebuilding like ice inside a quantum material
MIT physicists found that two electronic phases inside the same quantum material emerge through surprisingly different mechanisms—one smoothly and the other in expanding pockets resembling growing ice crystals. The discovery could help explain how exotic properties...
Tiny quantum engines reveal useful energy hiding in “waste heat”
A tiny machine made from just an atom and particles of light may sound impossibly simple, but it raises a surprisingly difficult question: what counts as heat, and what energy can still do useful work? University of Basel researchers have developed a theoretical...
Volt Carbon advances graphene layer count and launches flexible graphite processing platform
Volt Carbon Technologies has developed a flexible downstream manufacturing process at its Guelph, Ontario facility capable of converting graphite concentrate into either graphene oxide or expandable graphite using the same processing equipment, and has produced...
HydroGraph upsizes bought-deal offering to approximately US$44 million to fund US expansion
HydroGraph Clean Power has upsized its previously announced bought-deal public offering to gross proceeds of approximately US$44.1 million (C$61.2 million), up from an initially announced US$36 million (C$50 million), following strong investor demand. The offering...
Argo Graphene Solutions launches $1 million financing to advance STREAM graphene refinery strategy
Argo Graphene Solutions, developer of the STREAM™ graphene production platform, has announced a non-brokered private placement of up to $1,000,000, with a $200,000 over-allotment option, to fund the next phase of its graphene refinery buildout. The financing will...
Scientists may have finally proved that “empty” space isn’t really empty
A magnetar’s colossal magnetic field may have revealed a quantum effect predicted by Werner Heisenberg nearly 90 years ago, in which seemingly empty space alters the behavior of light. If confirmed, the discovery could offer the first direct evidence of vacuum...
Tiny graphene wrinkles create surprisingly powerful electrical effects
Scientists have discovered that tiny, sharply curved wrinkles in graphene can dramatically alter its electrical behavior, creating surprisingly strong charge separation. The finding suggests future electronics could be tuned by reshaping materials at the atomic...
3D graphene biosensor detects uric acid in sweat down to femtomolar levels
Researchers at Shanghai University and Shanghai General Hospital at Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine have developed an electrochemical biosensor that combines a three-dimensional graphene framework with a heat-denatured casein interlayer to detect...
