New graphene physical reservoir computing device dramatically reduces machine learning computational loads
As power consumption by machine learning technologies rises, demand grows for AI devices with low power consumption and high computational performance. "Physical reservoirs" are AI devices that perform efficient brain-inspired information processing called...
This hidden flaw has been breaking EV batteries
A major breakthrough in battery science reveals why promising single-crystal lithium-ion batteries haven’t lived up to expectations. Researchers found that these batteries crack due to uneven internal reactions, not the grain-boundary damage seen in older designs....

European consortium develops laser process for transferring graphene and other 2D materials onto CMOS-compatible and silicon photonics wafers
The Horizon Europe project L2D2, funded by the European Innovation Council, has announced technical achievements that "could reshape the future of silicon photonics, semiconductor manufacturing, and high-speed data communications". The project has developed a...
Graphene Square completes its graphene mass-production plant in Korea
Graphene Square has completed a graphene film mass-production plant at the Blue Valley National Industrial Complex in Pohang, North Gyeongsang Province of Korea. It is regarded as the first attempt in Korea to produce large-area graphene continuously based on...
Researchers develop graphene oxide hybrid electrodes for real-time dopamine monitoring
Researchers at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and Jeonbuk University have developed a graphene oxide–wrapped hybrid electrode platform that allows real-time, label-free monitoring of dopamine activity from...
A new superconductor breaks rules physicists thought were fixed
A shiny gray crystal called platinum-bismuth-two hides an electronic world unlike anything scientists have seen before. Researchers discovered that only the crystal’s outer surfaces become superconducting—allowing electrons to flow with zero resistance—while the...
The Sixth Element teams up with Logitech, Corsair on graphene-enhanced headphones
The Sixth Element (Changzhou) Materials Technology has announced that it has teamed up with brands including Logitech and Corsair to supply graphene materials for over‑ear graphene headphones.While additional product info is not available, it is known that Logitech...
Atomic-scale randomness in graphene enables hardware-level security keys
Researchers from the University of Illinois Chicago, Wayne State, and Northwestern have shown that random defects in graphene transistors can be harnessed for next-generation hardware security. Their work demonstrates how the intrinsic disorder in graphene can...
Physicists found a way to make thermodynamics work in the quantum world
More than 200 years ago, Count Rumford showed that heat isn’t a mysterious substance but something you can generate endlessly through motion. That insight laid the foundation for thermodynamics, the rules that govern energy, work, and disorder. Now, researchers at...
