CAP-XX and Ionic Industries to develop graphene-enhanced supercapacitors

CAP-XX, Australia-based manufacturer of thin-form supercapacitors and energy management systems, recently formed a joint venture for what it calls a “transformational new graphene material”.The deal is with Australia’s Ionic Industries, which is...
Graphene oxide helps use disposable face masks to make better concrete

Graphene oxide helps use disposable face masks to make better concrete

A Washington State University (WSU) research team recently showed that used single-use masks, of the kind made ubiquitous in the pandemic, can be incorporated into a cement mixture (with the help of graphene oxide) to create stronger, more durable concrete. The team...

WearGraphene’s graphene-enhanced jacket – a hands-on review

WearGraphene recently launched its Gamma graphene-enhanced winter jacket. I have spent a couple of months with this jacket, including two trips to Europe during the springtime, and here’s my review.First of all, the jacket looks very sleek (in my opinion, of...

Nova Graphene awarded two contracts to develop graphene-enhanced coatings for helicopter rotors

Canada-based Nova Graphene has been awarded two contracts by Canada’s Department of National Defense’s Innovation for Defense Excellence and Security (IDEaS) program, to develop graphene-enhanced materials to protect helicopter rotors from erosion & wear due...

Graphene helps track the nanomotion of bacteria

A team of researchers from TU Delft, led by dr. Farbod Alijani, recently managed to capture the low-level noise of a single bacterium using graphene. Being able to pick up on the miniscule sounds of bacteria can help track if an antibiotics is working, or if the...
