Graphene Composites (GC), a UK-based advanced materials engineering company, has developed next-generation ballistic and blast protection with its graphene-enhanced GC Shield® technology. GC’s RF2 Shield performs to STANAG 4569/AEP-55 Level 1 for superior blast and...

Technology startup Plastic 2 Green has reported a “promising breakthrough” in converting plastic scrap into carbon products and carbon-free fuels.The company says it successfully produced nitrogen-doped graphene from plastic scrap in a laboratory, a milestone...

Quantum scientists in Innsbruck have taken a major leap toward building the internet of the future. Using a string of calcium ions and finely tuned lasers, they created quantum nodes capable of generating streams of entangled photons with 92% fidelity. This...

A Vermont research team has cracked a 90-year-old puzzle, creating a quantum version of the damped harmonic oscillator. By reformulating Lamb’s classical model, they showed how atomic vibrations can be fully described while preserving quantum uncertainty. The...

In just one afternoon, scientists used a nanoparticle “megalibrary” to find a catalyst that matches or exceeds iridium’s performance in hydrogen fuel production, at a fraction of the cost.

First Graphene has reported the addition of graphene to perovskite solar cells (PSC) can improve efficiency to up to 30.6% and reduce production costs by up to 80%.The company has partnered with Halocell Energy and Queensland University of Technology to develop...

While superconducting qubits are great at fast calculations, they struggle to store information for long periods. A team at Caltech has now developed a clever solution: converting quantum information into sound waves. By using a tiny device that acts like a...

Researchers have developed a blueprint for weaving hopfions—complex, knot-like light structures—into repeating spacetime crystals. By exploiting two-color beams, they can generate ordered chains and lattices with tunable topology, potentially revolutionizing data...

Sparc Technologies has announced positive results from further testing on commercially available water-based epoxy coatings. These results follow on from initial proof of concept testing based on accelerated electrochemical methods announced in December 2024.  The...
