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
Although it is possible to control devices using brain waves, doing so usually involves having electrodes and conductive gel applied to one’s head. Now, however, scientists have developed a new-and-improved type of “dry” electrode – and it’s been used … Continue reading Next-gen “dry” electrodes used to control a robot via brain waves
When we think of graphene, we tend to think of its use in high-profile applications such as electronics, medical devices and construction materials. Now, however, it’s been incorporated into an additive which reportedly boosts the performance of humble… Continue reading Graphene additive finds use in higher-performing plastic film
The development of a cutting-edge graphene sensor has led to the creation of an interface that is able to accurately control a robot using thought alone. The development has positive implications not only for healthcare but for a range of other industr… Continue reading New graphene sensors make for better brain-machine interface
