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...

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 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...
