Norse launches strong, light Kayaks based on Haydale’s graphene materials
Haydale has announced that its bespoke mechanical graphene masterbatch has been used to create stronger and lighter composite sea kayaks for Norwegian paddle sport brand Norse Kayaks ("Norse"). Using the new graphene-enhanced material has reportedly made the Norse...
Graphenano and the University of Valencia report major milestone with first cell made without metals
Graphenano and the Institute of Molecular Science (ICMol) of the University of Valencia have developed a battery cell without current collectors or metal terminals, which uses graphene and carbon nanomaterials instead. The system enables the creation of safer,...
New research computes first step toward predicting lifespan of electric space propulsion systems
Electric space propulsion systems use energized atoms to generate thrust. The high-speed beams of ions bump against the graphite surfaces of the thruster, eroding them with each hit, and are the systems' primary lifetime-limiting factor. Researchers used data from...
Novel device enables high-resolution observation of liquid phase dynamic processes at nanoscale
In situ observation and recording of important liquid-phase electrochemical reactions in energy devices is crucial for the advancement of energy science. A research team has recently developed a novel, tiny device to hold liquid specimens for transmission electron...
Graphene used to grow the world’s smallest microLEDs and highest-density microLED arrays
Researchers from MIT, in collaboration with researchers from other Universities in the US and Korea, have used graphene (and hBN) to develop full-color vertically-stacked microLEDs - that achieve the highest array density (5100 PPI) and the smallest size (4 µm)...
Energy-harvesting design aims to turn high-frequency electromagnetic waves into usable power
Note: This story was updated on Dec. 18 to clarify that Wi-Fi signals are in the microwave frequency range, not terahertz, as originally reported. The device described in the article would convert energy in a range of electromagnetic frequencies, including...
Superconductivity switches on and off in ‘magic-angle’ graphene
Physicists have found a new way to switch superconductivity on and off in magic-angle graphene. The discovery could lead to ultrafast, energy-efficient superconducting transistors for 'neuromorphic' electronics that operate similarly to the rapid on/off firing of...
Researchers can ‘see’ crystals perform their dance moves
Researchers already knew the atoms in perovskites react favorably to light. Now they've seen precisely how the atoms move when the 2D materials are excited with light. Their study details the first direct measurement of structural dynamics under light-induced...
Graphenea takes part in effort to achieve ultrasensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein using graphene field-effect transistors
Researchers from Graphenea, Ikerbasque, BCMaterials, Center for Cooperative Research in Biomaterials (CIC biomaGUNE) of the Basque Research and Technology Alliance (BRTA), University of the Basque Country UPV-EHU, University of Trieste and Universidade da Coruña...
