Archer Materials, a semiconductor company active in the quantum technology and medical diagnostics industries, has signed a contract to work with Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre (IMEC) on the Company’s biosensorproduct development.IMEC will trial the use of...
Turquoise Group begins bulk graphene sales, aims to have commercial pilot project online “by the end of 2027”
Turquoise Group, an Australian company commercializing a plasma-based process to make low-cost graphene and hydrogen out of methane gas, has begun bulk sales of graphene powder.CEO Sam Taubert has stated that sales have “put Turquoise and Australia at the forefront...
Tiny chip could unlock gamma ray lasers, cure cancer, and explore the multiverse
A groundbreaking quantum device small enough to fit in your hand could one day answer one of the biggest questions in science — whether the multiverse is real. This tiny chip can generate extreme electromagnetic fields once only possible in massive, miles-long...
New approach enables accessible, rapid and qualitative characterization of graphene materials
Researchers at King’s College London have developed a new approach to characterize graphene-based materials (GBMs), including graphene oxide and graphene, based on surface interactions with a series of probe molecules.The team at King’s College London designed the...
Graphene–silver–silicon carbide platform achieves record phononic quantum interference for molecular sensing
Researchers at the University of California, University of North Texas, Pennsylvania State University, National Institute of Standards and Technology and Rice University have demonstrated a strong form of interference between phonons - the vibrations in a...
Accidental lab discovery reveals gold’s secret chemistry
Scientists at SLAC unexpectedly created gold hydride, a compound of gold and hydrogen, while studying diamond formation under extreme pressure and heat. This discovery challenges gold’s reputation as a chemically unreactive metal and opens doors to studying dense...
