Directa Plus reports widened loss as it is set to underperform
Directa Plus PLC said that it expects to underperform against market expectations as it posted a larger interim loss, citing shorter term headwinds and an extended timeline for the award of a substantial tender for its subsidiary Setcar, which deals with the...
Graphene spike mat and fridge magnet technology to fight against antibiotic resistance
With strong bactericidal properties, graphene has the potential to become a game changer in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. So far there have been no efficient ways to control these properties -- and thus no way to make use of graphene's potential...
National Highways announces follow-up graphene trial
National Highways has reportedly launched a further graphene-enhanced asphalt trial, this time on a one-kilometer section of the A12 between Hatfield Peverel and Witham, east of England. The first trial came in August 2021, when graphene was added to bitumen on the...
New platform allows scientists to study materials at the level of individual molecules
University of Illinois Chicago scientists have created a new platform to study materials at the level of individual molecules. The approach is a significant breakthrough for creating nanotechnologies that could revolutionize computing, energy and other fields....
BESSY II: Heterostructures for spintronics
Spintronic devices work with spin textures caused by quantum-physical interactions. Scientists have now studied graphene-cobalt-iridium heterostructures at BESSY II. The results show how two desired quantum-physical effects reinforce each other in these...
NanoXplore reports financial results for its Q4-2024 and full year 2024
NanoXplore has reported its financial results for the year ended June 30, 2024. Record total revenues of CAD$38,125,566 (around USD$28,168,000) were reported, compared to CAD$33,318,964 (around USD$24,616,000) last year, representing a 14% increase; Loss of...
Researchers combine graphene and silk for advanced microelectronics, wearables and next-gen computing applications
While silk protein has been used in designer electronics, its use is currently limited in part because silk fibers are a messy tangle of spaghetti-like strands. To address this, researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, University of Washington,...
Flexible circuits made with silk and graphene on the horizon
Ultra-thin layers of silk deposited on graphene in perfect alignment represent a key advance for the control needed in microelectronics and advanced neural network development.
Homemade ‘play-putty’ can read the body’s electric signals
Researchers demonstrates the effectiveness of homemade play putty at reading brain, heart, muscle and eye activity. The research outlines the conductive properties of this material, so-named 'squishy circuits.'
A smoother way to study ‘twistronics’
A new article describes a fingernail-sized machine that can twist thin materials at will, replacing the need to fabricate twisted devices one by one.
