Laser technique that opens a bandgap in graphene could allow for next-gen graphene electronics

Researchers from Purdue University, the University of Michigan and the Huazhong University of Science and Technology have used a technique called “laser shock imprinting” to permanently stress graphene into having a band gap, which could mean it would be...

ZNShine to supply graphene-enhanced solar modules to the UAE

Znshine Solar, a Chinese solar module manufacturer, has announced signing a 100MW graphene-enhanced solar module supply agreement with UAE’s Etihad Energy services as a result of Znshine’s participation in the tender launched by DEWA (Dubai Electricity and...

Rice team creates laser-induced graphene nanogenerators that turn movement into energy

Rice University researchers have recently taken the idea of wearable devices that harvest energy from movement to a new level. Prof. James Tour’s lab has adapted laser-induced graphene (LIG) into small, metal-free devices that generate electricity.Putting the...
New method ‘sttiches’ together rGO sheets into ultra-strong films

New method ‘sttiches’ together rGO sheets into ultra-strong films

A team of researchers from China has reported a novel strategy to ‘stitch’ together reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets into ultra-strong, tough, and highly conductive graphene films using only small amounts of cross-linker. They show that the bridging...

Researchers develop washable, wearable graphene capacitors that can be woven directly into clothes

Researchers at the University of Cambridge and Jiangnan University in China have developed graphene-enhanced wearable electronic components incorporated directly into fabrics. The devices could be used for flexible circuits, healthcare monitoring, energy conversion,...

Estonian researchers are developing a graphene-based sensor nose

A research group at the University of Tartu in Estonia has been working on a graphene-enhanced sensor nose for five years and presented their latest prototype in February at the Barcelona World Mobile Congress in the Graphene Pavilion.The prototype does not look...
