Scientists capture electrons making seemingly impossible quantum jumps
Scientists have captured electrons making seemingly impossible jumps across forbidden energy gaps in graphene, with some transitions occurring at a remarkable 100% probability. The breakthrough offers an unprecedented look at quantum behavior and could help unlock a...
A breakthrough in magnetism could make AI chips use dramatically less energy
Researchers at Brown University have overcome a major obstacle to creating ultra-low-power computer chips that could help slash the energy demands of AI. Their breakthrough eliminates a long-standing "dead layer" problem that causes promising materials to stop working...
Self-sensing artificial muscles made with graphene fibers play piano and move robotic eyes
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed artificial muscle fibers that sense their own contraction state and hold intermediate positions on demand, a capability that has largely eluded soft actuators. The fibers, called CoilLCE, combine a liquid...
Tiny flaws in diamonds could unlock a quantum computing revolution
Scientists have discovered a faster way to identify diamond-based materials that could power quantum computers and sensors at room temperature. The breakthrough has already revealed promising new quantum building blocks that could help unlock computing capabilities...
Graphene Innovations Manchester opens advanced materials factory in Trafford Park
Graphene Innovations Manchester (GIM) has opened a new advanced materials factory in Trafford Park, Manchester. The facility was officially opened on November 10, 2026 by Bev Craig, Mayor of Greater Manchester, and marks the company’s move from research and...
Apacer’s copper-graphene layer cuts DDR5 memory temperatures by more than 20°C without fans
Taiwanese memory and storage maker Apacer has developed a thermal solution for industrial DDR5 memory modules built around a copper-graphene composite layer, which the company says lowers module temperatures by over 20°C in systems with no active cooling. The product,...
NanoXplore starts commercial graphene supply for insulating foam as quarterly revenue rises 36%
NanoXplore has reported results for the first quarter of its fiscal 2027, the three months ended September 30, 2026, with total revenues of C$31.8 million (about US$22.4 million), up 36% from C$23.4 million (about US$16.5 million) a year earlier. The company also...
Folded graphene oxide flakes clasp together to make a stronger, tougher graphene film
Researchers from Zhejiang University, Tsinghua University, Changsha University of Science and Technology and the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Physics have developed graphene films that combine high strength, toughness and elasticity. The team says the...
First Graphene reports first commercial orders for graphene oxide
First Graphene has received a repeat order of about A$35,000 (about US$24,000) for its PureGRAPH graphene from a US customer supplying defense applications, along with its first two commercial orders for a newly developed graphene oxide product. The three orders have...
Graphene EMI shielding film keeps 99% of its shielding after 400,000 folds
Researchers at the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH), Hanyang University and several other institutions in South Korea have developed a flexible electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding film made from graphene nanoplatelets that, the team says,...
