iGii secures £22.7 million to accelerate commercialization of graphene-like carbon nanomaterial
iGii has secured £22.7 million (about US$30.4 million) in new funding to accelerate the commercialization and industrial adoption of its patented 3D graphene foam, Gii. The round comprises an £11.7 million (about US$15.7 million) Series B investment led by the...
Einstein’s “spooky action” just survived one of physics’ most extreme tests
Physicists have detected strong evidence that heavy, fleeting Z bosons can become quantum entangled during Higgs boson decays at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. The result shows that Einstein’s “spooky action at a distance” survives even under some of the most extreme...
COnovate wins $1.25M DOE contract to scale domestic graphite-alternative battery anode
COnovate (formerly SafeLi), a Wisconsin-based battery materials company, has been awarded a $1.25 million, 24-month development contract by the U.S. Department of Energy's Critical Minerals and Materials Accelerator Program to scale commercial-scale production of its...
UniSQ awarded ARC grant to develop self-healing graphene battery electrodes
Researchers at the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ), led by Professor Ashok Kumar Nanjundan, have been awarded A$1.3 million (about US$923,000) through the Australian Research Council's Future Fellowship scheme to develop self-healing sodium-ion battery...
Yonsei researchers turn graphene light patterns into unclonable security keys
Researchers at Yonsei University have developed graphene diffractive zone plates (GDZPs) that generate spectrally programmable optical responses for hardware authentication, combining the devices with a vision transformer-based readout model to convert complex...
Caltech’s tiny new chip can steer light in 74 quadrillionths of a second
A new Caltech device can redirect a beam of light in just 74 femtoseconds using another beam and a nanoscale silicon metasurface. The breakthrough could pave the way for dramatically faster photonic communications, computing, and sensing technologies.
Scientists are about to test Einstein’s gravity with exotic matter
Scientists have found a new way to create a controlled beam of muonium, an exotic atom containing a heavier cousin of the electron. The advance could allow researchers to test for the first time whether gravity acts on second-generation particles exactly as Einstein’s...
NanoXplore reports FY2026 results as VoltaXplore pivots from EV to defense and drone markets
NanoXplore has reported fiscal year 2026 results with total revenues of C$117.3 million (about US$84.3 million), down 9% from C$128.9 million (about US$92.6 million) the prior year, and a net loss of C$11.8 million (about US$8.5 million), compared to C$9.7 million...
Graphene oxide sensing layer enables low-cost SPR detection of mercury, lead, and zinc in water
Researchers at Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja, Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo (ESPOCH), Università della Calabria, and Universidad Ecotec have computationally designed and optimized a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor for detecting trace...
Levidian launches NanoFlow™ A1-30 aqueous graphene dispersion with water-like viscosity
Levidian has launched NanoFlow™ A1-30, a new high-concentration aqueous dispersion containing 30 wt.% G3 graphene that retains a low-viscosity, water-like consistency despite the high loading. The product extends Levidian's NanoFlow™ range of graphene dispersions,...
