Six-layer rhombohedral graphene shows new superconducting and electrically switchable magnetic states
Researchers at Cornell University, the National Institute for Materials Science (Japan) and the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter have found new superconducting and magnetic states in rhombohedral hexalayer graphene, a stack of six graphene...
New technique films light-driven quantum tunneling of electrons in graphene
Researchers at the University of Regensburg, Philipps University of Marburg, Forschungszentrum Jülich, the Jülich Aachen Research Alliance (JARA) and RWTH Aachen University have directly imaged how the electric field of a light pulse drives electrons across the energy...
AirMembrane raises funding to prepare mass production of graphene EUV pellicles
Venture firm Global Brain has led a new funding round in AirMembrane, a Japanese developer and manufacturer of graphene pellicles for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. Global Brain invested through its Global Brain Flagship Fund IX. The TAKANAWA GATEWAY Global...
Voltage-defined “guardrails” could let graphene separate light-generated charges
Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and TU Dresden, led by Ralf Schützhold, director of the HZDR Institute of Theoretical Physics, have proposed a new way to extract electrical current from light absorbed by graphene, using electrode...
Perpetuus graphene masterbatch could save tire makers about 165 kWh per ton of compound
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 just broke a textbook rule of physics
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 advances plans for a commercial graphene refinery near Chicago
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...
Smaller EV batteries, longer range? Scientists may have found a way
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’s graphene-biosensor lung cancer blood test LEAP becomes commercially available
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 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...
