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...
KB Element raises $10.1 million Series B to scale non-oxidized graphene production
KB Element, a South Korean manufacturer of non-oxidized graphene, has closed a Series B funding round of KRW 14 billion (approximately USD $10.1 million). Nine investors took part in the round.Founded in 2016, KB Element produces non-oxidized graphene using its own...
Graphene-enhanced biochar membrane boosts thermal storage and moisture control for ventilation systems
Researchers at Yonsei University, National University of Singapore and Dankook University have developed a paper membrane that combines food-waste-derived biochar, graphene, and a phase-change material to simultaneously store thermal energy, improve heat transfer,...
This frozen fiber makes light and sound interact 1,000x more strongly
Freezing the liquid core of an optical fiber produced an extreme environment where light and sound interact more than 1,000 times more strongly than in ordinary fibers. Researchers used the effect to create optoacoustic memory, potentially paving the way for...
Zentek wins Government of Canada standing offer for graphene-enhanced HVAC filters
Zentek has been awarded a Government of Canada standing offer to supply HVAC filtration products, including its ZenGUARD™ Enhanced Air Filters, to federal facilities in the National Capital Region. The offer, secured through a competitive open-bidding process, runs...
A strange new quantum droplet can hold itself together
Two very different types of quantum particles may be able to form stable droplets that hold themselves together, challenging decades of conventional thinking. The prediction could soon be tested experimentally and may reveal an unexpectedly rich world of new...
QTREX converts 3D-printed insulation into graphene-like carbon to shield quantum processors
QTREX Quantum Ltd. (Nasdaq: QTEX), a developer of Additively Manufactured Electronics (AME) for quantum computing infrastructure, has demonstrated a patent-pending process that directly converts sections of 3D-printed dielectric insulation into electrically...
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...
