Collaborate Disseminate
3D-printed concrete structures are claimed to be faster and cheaper to build than their traditional counterparts, but they’re not always as strong. That problem may soon be solved by adding a pinch of graphene oxide, which could also be used to detect … Continue reading Graphene oxide used to strengthen and electrify 3D-printed concrete
Amidst all the (well-deserved) hype around graphene, it’s important to remember that its properties are not unique to carbon. More atoms can be coaxed into stable 2-dimensional configuration, with molybdenene …read more Continue reading Introducing Molybdenene As Graphene’s New Dirac Matter Companion
It seems there’s no end to surprises from everybody’s favorite wonder material, graphene. MIT physicists have now discovered yet another brand new electronic state hiding in this overachieving little material – something they give the bizarre name of “… Continue reading Bizarre new electronic state discovered in five-layer graphene
Researchers have used a low-emissions method to harvest hydrogen and graphene from waste plastics. They say it not only solves environmental problems like plastic pollution and greenhouse gas production, but the value of the graphene by-product could o… Continue reading Low-emissions flash method upcycles waste plastic into “free” hydrogen
If you live in a place where you can buy Arduinos and Raspberry Pis locally, you probably don’t spend much time worrying about your water supply. But in some parts …read more Continue reading $1 Graphene Sensor Identifies Safe Water
Graphene isn’t easy to produce at scale. But making small batches of graphene is doable in a few ways. [Robert Murray-Smith] decided to try producing “flash graphene.” This requires a …read more Continue reading Easy Graphene Production with a Laser Engraver
Scientists at the University of Georgia have created a “superfoam” with two very valuable potential applications. It could be used not only to clean up oil spills, but also to keep infections from occurring at medical implant sites.Continue ReadingCate… Continue reading Multi-functional “superfoam” soaks up oil spills and kills bacteria
A team of researchers led by Northwestern University and the University of Texas at Austin (UT) have developed a novel graphene heart implant that’s about the thickness of a strand of hair and monitors and corrects abnormal heart rhythms using light.Co… Continue reading Implantable graphene e-tattoo uses light to monitor, correct arrhythmias
As fun as brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are, for the best results they tend to come with the major asterisk of requiring the cutting and lifting of a section of the …read more Continue reading Noninvasive Sensors for Brain–Machine Interfaces Based on Micropatterned Epitaxial Graphene
We’ve all heard the incredible claims made about graphene and its many promising applications, but so far the wonder-material has been held back by the difficulty of producing it in …read more Continue reading The Challenges of Producing Graphene in Quantity
