Reebok announces a new clothing line enhanced with graphene

Reebok launched a new apparel collection, called Thermowarm+Graphene, that uses graphene to help retain heat. Reebok says that by printing graphene on the internal side of the clothing, it helps to retain between 8% and 15% more heat than areas without graphene (that...

Graphene foam assists in building a “thermal switch” that dynamically moderates heat of electronic devices

lithium ion batteries used in extreme heat or cold can be prone to malfunctions and low performance. Purdue University engineers have developed a solution: a “thermal switch” made of compressible graphene foam, that dynamically adjusts to temperatures both...
