KIST researchers develop stretchable graphene-based lithium-ion battery

A research team from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) recently developed a graphene-based lithium-ion battery that is flexible enough to be stretched.Dr. Jeong Gon Son’s research team at the Photo-Electronic Hybrids Research Center at the...

GAC to mass produce graphene-enhanced battery for EVs by the end of 2020

Chinese EV maker Guangzhou Automobile New Energy (GAC) has announced that it has developed a graphene-enhanced battery for EVs which will be available for mass production at the end of this year.GAC reports that its graphene technology can charge batteries up to 85%...

Researchers demonstrate the laser-propulsion of graphene sails in microgravity

ESA-backed researchers from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and SCALE Nanotech in Estonia have demonstrated the laser-propulsion of graphene sails in microgravity.As demonstrated first by JAXA’s mission IKAROS (2010) and recently by The...

MIT team finds ‘twisted’ graphene getting weirder at ‘magical angle’

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have previously found a particularly strange pattern in the “twisted” graphene structure, and now they’ve studied it more closely and found that the more layers it has, the better it will...
