Australian team designs a graphene filter to purify methane from biogas

University of New South Wales (UNSW) scientists, led by Dr Rakesh Joshi of the UNSW School of Materials Science and Engineering, have demonstrated that graphene membranes can be used to purify methane that is present in biogas generated during the breakdown of...

Graphene sensors to detect morphine in urine

A research team led by Graphene Flagship partners Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR), Italy, and Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, together with a team at the University of Modena, Italy, has created a new qualitative graphene-based sensor for morphine,...

Graphene and borophene integrated into 2D heterostructures

Researchers from Northwestern University have created 2D heterostructures from graphene and borophene, taking an important step toward creating intergrated circuits from these nanomaterials.Atomic-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy image of a borophene-graphene...
Rice team designs graphene-based air filter that grabs and zaps pathogens

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...
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

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...
