MIT physicists found that two electronic phases inside the same quantum material emerge through surprisingly different mechanisms—one smoothly and the other in expanding pockets resembling growing ice crystals. The discovery could help explain how exotic properties...

A tiny machine made from just an atom and particles of light may sound impossibly simple, but it raises a surprisingly difficult question: what counts as heat, and what energy can still do useful work? University of Basel researchers have developed a theoretical...

Volt Carbon Technologies has developed a flexible downstream manufacturing process at its Guelph, Ontario facility capable of converting graphite concentrate into either graphene oxide or expandable graphite using the same processing equipment, and has produced...

HydroGraph Clean Power has upsized its previously announced bought-deal public offering to gross proceeds of approximately US$44.1 million (C$61.2 million), up from an initially announced US$36 million (C$50 million), following strong investor demand. The offering is...

Argo Graphene Solutions, developer of the STREAM™ graphene production platform, has announced a non-brokered private placement of up to $1,000,000, with a $200,000 over-allotment option, to fund the next phase of its graphene refinery buildout. The financing will go...

A magnetar’s colossal magnetic field may have revealed a quantum effect predicted by Werner Heisenberg nearly 90 years ago, in which seemingly empty space alters the behavior of light. If confirmed, the discovery could offer the first direct evidence of vacuum...

Scientists have discovered that tiny, sharply curved wrinkles in graphene can dramatically alter its electrical behavior, creating surprisingly strong charge separation. The finding suggests future electronics could be tuned by reshaping materials at the atomic scale...

Researchers at Shanghai University and Shanghai General Hospital at Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine have developed an electrochemical biosensor that combines a three-dimensional graphene framework with a heat-denatured casein interlayer to detect uric...

Caltech scientists have created ultra-low-loss optical pathways on silicon chips that approach the efficiency of fiber optics and dramatically outperform existing technology at visible wavelengths. The breakthrough could unlock more powerful lasers, miniature atomic...

Researchers at Walter Sisulu University in South Africa have published a comprehensive review examining graphene-metal-organic framework (MOF) composites as electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) - the two...
