Will the iPhone 16 use graphene heat sink to solve overheating issues?
Rumors suggest that the iPhone 16 may use a graphene heat sink and a metal battery case to promote better heat transfer. This follows complaints by iPhone 15 users about overheating, which Apple fixed via software, but the iPhone 16 is rumored to have a hardware...
Researchers develop DNA aptamer-attached portable graphene biosensor for the detection of degenerative brain diseases
An international team of researchers, including scientists from University of California San Diego, Chinese Academy of Sciences, University of Texas Medical Branch and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, has developed a handheld, non-invasive graphene-based...
Riddle of Kondo effect solved in ultimately thin wires
A research team has now directly measured the so-called Kondo effect, which governs the behavior of magnetic atoms surrounded by a sea of electrons: New observations with a scanning tunneling microscope reveal the effect in one-dimensional wires floating on...
EnyGy plans to launch graphene supercapacitor in 2024
Australia-based energy storage solutions developer EnyGy has been working on a graphene-enhanced supercapacitor that can provide "increased energy storage capacity within the same package size, known as enhanced energy density, enabling the realization of compact,...
MIT physicists turn pencil lead into “gold”
MIT physicists have metaphorically turned graphite, or pencil lead, into gold by isolating five ultrathin flakes stacked in a specific order. The resulting material can then be tuned to exhibit three important properties never before seen in natural graphite. “It...
Researchers develop antimony alloy based reduced graphene oxide composite for faster charging sodium-ion batteries
Researchers from the University of Hyderabad (UoH) and the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) have developed electrode materials made of Tin antimony alloy based reduced graphene oxide composite which has the potential to enhance energy storage for...
Template for success: Shaping hard carbon electrodes for next-generation batteries
Sodium- and potassium-ion batteries are promising next-generation alternatives to the ubiquitous lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, their energy density still lags behind that of LIBs. To tackle this issue, researchers explored an innovative strategy to turn...
New project called GRAPHERGIA to revolutionize energy harvesting in textiles and battery technology
A consortium of 11 partners from six European countries has launched the GRAPHERGIA project, an ambitious 3.5-year Research and Innovation program, funded by €4.5 million under the Horizon Europe's Graphene Flagship initiative. Aimed at redefining the integration...
