Perpetuus Advanced Materials has announced the results of an industrial production assessment of its surface-engineered graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) masterbatch in truck and bus radial (TBR) tire production. The company says the masterbatch eliminated two mixing...

Scientists have defied a long-standing rule of laser physics by generating X-rays with much higher energies than conventional theory predicts. The surprising discovery reveals how two electrons working together can overcome a previously accepted limit, opening new...

Argo Graphene Solutions has provided an update on its plan to build a commercial-scale graphene refinery in the Chicago, Illinois area. The company says it is in the final stages of securing a facility to house its STREAM production operations. A wholly owned Nevada...

Scientists have developed a new technology that could make electric vehicle batteries smaller, lighter, and longer-lasting, potentially allowing cars to travel farther on a single charge. By borrowing precision manufacturing techniques from computer chip production,...

Hawkeye Bio and HealthQuest Esoterics, a clinical reference laboratory in Irvine, California, have announced the commercial availability of LEAP (Lung Enzyme Activity Profile), a prescription blood test designed to support early lung cancer detection and complement...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
