These clear windows can secretly produce solar power
Scientists have created a transparent solar coating that turns ordinary windows into clean energy generators without affecting clarity. Using cholesteric liquid crystal layers, the coating redirects polarized sunlight to the window edges where solar cells collect...
Scientists just found a hidden quantum geometry that warps electrons
A hidden quantum geometry that distorts electron paths has finally been observed in real materials. This “quantum metric,” once thought purely theoretical, may revolutionize electronics, superconductivity, and ultrafast devices.
Scientists watch an atomic nucleus flip in real time
Scientists at Delft University of Technology have managed to watch a single atomic nucleus flip its magnetic state in real time. Using a scanning tunneling microscope, they indirectly read the nucleus through its electrons, finding the nuclear spin surprisingly...
Graphene Manufacturing Group secures US$5 million in public offering
Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) has announced it has closed a bought deal public offering, raising C$6.9 million (around US$5 million).The proceeds will be used to support ongoing operations, including commercial and product development. The offering was managed...
Korean researchers develop silicon-graphene composite anode material for lithium-ion batteries, plan to move it into mass production
The Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) has announced it is preparing to move its silicon-graphene composite anode material for lithium-ion batteries into mass production, a step that could extend the range of electric vehicles and improve battery...
Strange “heavy” electrons could be the future of quantum computing
Scientists in Japan have uncovered a strange new behavior in “heavy” electrons — particles that act as if they carry far more mass than usual. These electrons were found to be entangled, sharing a deep quantum link, and doing so in ways tied to the fastest possible...
Graphene heat dissipation boosts micro-LED performance for AR displays
Shanghai University researchers have designed a blue-green light micro-LED for Augmented Reality Heads-up Displays (AR-HUD) using COMSOL software, coupling photo-thermal properties with multi-physical fields. By incorporating a graphene film and heat sink for heat...
Graphene Composites unveils next-gen graphene-enhanced ballistic and blast protection
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...
Plastic 2 Green achieves breakthrough in turning plastic into graphene
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...
Scientists create scalable quantum node linking light and matter
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...
