Penn State researchers have uncovered a surprising twist in a foundational chemical reaction known as oxidative addition. Typically believed to involve transition metals donating electrons to organic compounds, the team discovered an alternate path—one in which...

Researchers from China's Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics (Chinese Academy of Sciences) have observed the quantum friction phenomenon at solid-solid interfaces for the first time, making a significant breakthrough in quantum friction research. By folding...

Black Swan Graphene has provided an update on its ongoing commercial initiatives, underscoring the success of its strategic approach to providing Graphene-Enhanced Masterbatch™ or GEM™ (“GEM“) to the polymer industry. This model, which involves working closely with...

Researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and Nagoya University have created a new way to study the mechanical behavior of graphene nanosheets. The technique enables direct measurement of bending rigidity in sheets...

A pioneering team at the University of Maryland has captured the first-ever images of atomic thermal vibrations, unlocking an unseen world of motion within two-dimensional materials. Their innovative electron ptychography technique revealed elusive “moiré phasons,”...

Separating gases efficiently is important for applications like hydrogen production and carbon dioxide capture. Gas separation membranes, especially those made from graphene oxide (GO), show promise because they can selectively allow certain gases to pass through....

Aalto University physicists in Finland have set a new benchmark in quantum computing by achieving a record-breaking millisecond coherence in a transmon qubit — nearly doubling prior limits. This development not only opens the door to far more powerful and stable...

The Advanced Carbons Company (TACC), a wholly owned subsidiary of HEG, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the National Council for Cement and Building Materials (NCB) to jointly develop next-generation sustainable, durable, and high-performance...
