Researchers explore dielectric control of superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene
Researchers from Ohio State University, Imdea Nanoscience and the National Institute for Materials Science in Tsukuba have demonstrated that superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) can be tuned - and even completely switched off - by engineering its...
SEEDS moves into dedicated NETPark site to scale graphene tech production
SEEDS, a UK-based deep-tech company developing engineered graphene platform technologies, is set to move into a new dedicated facility at NETPark (the North East Technology Park) as part of Durham County Council’s £100 million expansion of the site. This move marks...
These cheap solar cells work better because they’re flawed
Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric charges efficiently. Using a novel imaging method, they revealed...
Laser‑driven graphene aerogels show strong propulsion in ESA microgravity tests
A recent European Space Agency (ESA) parabolic flight has demonstrated that graphene aerogels can be efficiently propelled by laser light in microgravity, highlighting a promising route for fuel‑free space propulsion. In near‑weightlessness, ultralight graphene...
