Rice team designs graphene-based air filter that grabs and zaps pathogens

Rice University team under chemist James Tour has transformed their laser-induced graphene (LIG) into self-sterilizing filters that grab pathogens out of the air and kill them with small pulses of electricity. This may be of special interest to hospitals, where...

AGM and Infinite Composites develop graphene composite material for space exploration

Applied Graphene Materials (AGM) and pressure vessel manufacturer Infinite Composites Technologies have collaborated to develop a composite material for space exploration. The partnership saw the use of AGM’s graphene technology in two resin systems for cryogenic...
The “magic angle” for making graphene a superconductor may be less stringent than previously thought

The “magic angle” for making graphene a superconductor may be less stringent than previously thought

Researchers at The Ohio State University, in collaboration with University of Texas, Dallas scientists and the National Institute for Materials Science in Japan, have found that graphene is more likely to become a superconductor than originally thought possible.(A)...

An activated carbon-coated lint roller can yield super-clean graphene

In order for CVD graphene to be used in its intended application, it needs to be transferred from the growth substrate to a target substrate – a challenging but extremely important process step. Typically the transfer is done by spin-coating a supporting polymer layer...
Epoxy-graphene nanocomposites can be improved with nacre-inspired design

Epoxy-graphene nanocomposites can be improved with nacre-inspired design

Researchers from Beihang University in China, Imperial College London in the UK, University of Wollongong in Australia and Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel have addressed the issue of aggregation in epoxy-graphene nanocomposites, that damages the...
