Concretene raises £4.5 million (US$6 million) to scale graphene concrete admixtures and make graphene from wastewater biogas
Concretene, a University of Manchester spin-out developing graphene-enhanced concrete admixtures, has raised £4.5 million (US$6.0 million) in the first close of its Series A round. The round includes £2 million (US$2.7 million) from NPIF II – PXN Equity Finance, which...
Tiny magnetic vortices could help computers work more like your brain
Scientists have filmed tiny magnetic vortices called skyrmions melting out of an organized lattice for the first time, revealing new ways to manipulate these unusual structures. The breakthrough could help make brain-like computers a reality, potentially enabling...
Scientists discover a hidden flaw that challenges 40 years of superconductor science
A superconducting material studied for 40 years has turned out to be far more complex than scientists believed. Advanced 3D imaging revealed a hidden patchwork of crystal structures, with unusually wide boundaries that may weaken superconductivity. The discovery...
Graphene inductor harvests power-line radiation to run a battery-free temperature sensor
Researchers at the University of Arkansas and the University of Michigan have developed a graphene-based energy harvester that draws power from the magnetic field around an electrical power line to run a low-power temperature sensor. The team made graphene inductors...
A tiny defect in a crystal reveals a big quantum surprise
Researchers have solved a long-standing challenge in understanding how tiny defects in materials like diamond and silicon carbide behave when exposed to light. Their new computational method revealed a surprisingly important energy-loss mechanism in silicon carbide...
A revolutionary new microscope could reveal the hidden machinery of life
Researchers have developed a revolutionary microscope that uses an incredibly powerful laser to make previously invisible cellular structures easier to see. The technology dramatically improves image clarity, allowing scientists to examine small proteins that...
Graphene Composites launches next-generation GC Patrol Shield with edge-shot protection to 1 inch
Graphene Composites has launched the new GC Patrol Shield, which it sells under the GC Shield brand. The company says the shield was verified to stop rifle and shotgun threats at 1 inch from its edge. The NIJ and ASTM standards require this only at 2 inches, and treat...
HydroGraph outlines path to first commercial orders as it prepares Texas graphene plant
HydroGraph has provided an update on its objectives as it moves from technology development to commercial production. The company says several of its most advanced customer evaluations have moved into commercial negotiation, covering pricing, volumes and supply terms,...
