HEG Advanced Materials approves a 500-tonne graphene plant as part of a battery materials expansion
HEG Advanced Materials’ board has approved a graphene plant with a capacity of 500 tonnes, to be built in two phases by its wholly owned subsidiary, HEG Graphene Materials Limited. The project carries a capital cost of about ₹500 crore (about US$53 million), and the...
Graphene mesosponge outperforms carbon nanotubes as a conductive additive in high-loading Li-ion cathodes
Researchers at Yokohama National University, Yonsei University and 3DC have shown that graphene mesosponge (GMS), a three-dimensional, sponge-like graphene material, can improve ion transport in dense, high-loading lithium-ion battery cathodes. In their tests, an...
A tiny squeeze dramatically changes the magnetism of exotic materials
Scientists have discovered that a simple mechanical squeeze can dramatically alter the magnetic properties and electrical behavior of exotic materials called altermagnets. The surprising breakthrough could open the door to faster, more energy-efficient electronics and...
SLAC scientists find conclusive proof of a mysterious third type of magnetism
For nearly 90 years, scientists believed magnetism fell into just two categories, but researchers have now confirmed a remarkable third type called altermagnetism. Using specialized X-rays, they uncovered a unique magnetic signature that proves these materials behave...
