Researchers show that graphene quantum dots can block SARS-CoV-2 Variant from entering cells

A recent study has reported the use of human host defense peptide-conjugated graphene quantum dots for the prevention of virus entry into host cells.Research on the SARS-CoV-2 virus mainly focuses on the spike protein (S1) which contains the receptor-binding domain...

New graphene-enhanced asphalt trial to take place on Oxford road

Two stretches of an Oxford, UK road will be resurfaced with GiPave, a graphene-enhanced asphalt material, to test the benefits of the product which can significantly increase the life of a road.Marsh Lane in Oxford, which carries around 10,000 vehicles a day along a...

Researchers design a graphene-based sensor that can detect opioids in wastewater

Researchers from Boston College, Boston University, and Giner Labs have designed a small graphene-based multiplexed bio-sensor that detects opioid byproducts in wastewater.The novel device uses graphene-based field effect transistors to detect four different synthetic...

Researchers demonstrate control of the optical properties of graphene

An international team of scientists from the CNR-IFN, Politecnico di Milano, the University of Pisa, the Graphene Center of Cambridge (UK) and the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2, Barcelona) has shown that the relaxation time of graphene...

New initiative involving U.S Army and academia will promote graphene applications

A new initiative has been established, to explore the development of various applications for graphene, from graphene-infused asphalt and concrete to water filtration systems.To this end, researchers at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC)...

Researchers wrapped droplets in graphene for better sensors, microchips and batteries

Researchers from the University of Sussex, the University of Brighton and CNRS have developed a way to wrap emulsion droplets with graphene and other 2D materials by reducing the coatings down to atomically-thin nanosheet layers. The team said this could...
