Two graphene layers placed so close together that an electric current spontaneously jumps across could benefit DNA sequencing

by | Mar 26, 2018 | Development, Graphene applications, Graphene DNA Sequencing, Investment, Products, Research, Technical / Research

Researchers at Leiden University in the Netherlands have managed to bring two graphene layers so close together that an electric current spontaneously jumps across. This could enable scientists to study the edges of graphene and use them for sequencing DNA with a...

Graphene oxide to potentially remove obstacles for lithium-metal batteries’ adoption

by | Mar 25, 2018 | Development, Graphene applications, Graphene batteries, Graphene Oxide, Investment, Products, Research, Technical / Research

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have developed a solution to a problem that has been setting back commercialization of a new kind of batteries. Lithium-metal batteries can take up to 10 times more charge than conventional lithium-ion batteries,...
