Graphene sensors read stroke damage from the shape of brain electrical waves
Researchers at the University of Manchester, the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM, CSIC), the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) and Multi Channel Systems (Germany) have used graphene micro-transistor arrays to map how brain...
INBRAIN and partners pair graphene brain probes with a magnetically guided implantation robot
The European MINIGRAPH project, funded by the European Innovation Council and coordinated by ICN2, has wrapped up with results on graphene neural probes and a robotic way to implant them. The consortium also included INBRAIN Neuroelectronics, imec, Fraunhofer, Leiden...
Physicists just found the ‘ghost’ of superconductivity
Physicists have found striking evidence for an unusual form of superconducting behavior in uranium ditelluride, where electron pairs organize into rippling patterns called pair density waves. Even more surprisingly, these patterns appear to survive after ordinary...
First Graphene’s PureGRAPH enters sports shoes with first Flux Footwear order
First Graphene has received an initial purchase order from US-based Flux Footwear, its first production application in athletic footwear. Flux will use the company's PureGRAPH graphene additive in its Graphene XT performance gym shoes and leisure range. The additive...
Scientists finally see how nature moves energy so efficiently
Researchers have captured key steps in a chemical reaction that helps nature transfer energy with remarkable efficiency. Ultrafast X-rays revealed how changes involving electrons and protons are closely linked to the rearrangement of surrounding water molecules....
Duo Packaging’s graphene film boosts recycled plastic content by a third
UK-based Duo Packaging has developed a graphene-enhanced polyethylene film for flexible packaging, created with the University of Manchester's Graphene Engineering Innovation Center (GEIC) and backed by the Innovation Navigator Programme. The material, branded 2DPE,...
A new kind of magnetism could unlock faster, more efficient computers
Scientists have discovered evidence of altermagnetism in a thin, highly tunable material that could help electronics use electron spin instead of relying only on electrical charge. The unusual magnetic state may enable faster, more energy-efficient devices without the...
First Graphene partners with Aeropreg to commercialize graphene-enhanced carbon fiber prepreg
First Graphene has entered a three-year Development and Commercialization Agreement with Turkish prepreg manufacturer Aeropreg to bring a PureGRAPH®-enhanced carbon fiber prepreg to market. The agreement pairs First Graphene's proprietary epoxy concentrates, developed...
Siroca’s graphene-coated personal heater warms up in three seconds
Japanese appliance maker Siroca will launch a graphene-coated personal space heater, the "Sumipoka" (model SH-GC251), on October 16, priced at ¥13,860 (about US$88). The compact heater uses a graphene coating on its heating element to generate warmth within three...
Scientists just pushed superconductors beyond their usual current limit
Ultrashort electrical pulses allowed scientists to push superconductors closer than ever to the point where their electron pairs actually break apart. The method revealed hidden differences between superconducting materials and could open new ways to probe and control...
