Collaborate Disseminate
Miniature human brains, grown from stem cells and implanted into living mice, have for the first time been shown to respond to things the mice were seeing. The scientists were able to watch the responses in real time thanks to specialized graphene elec… Continue reading Mini human brains implanted in mice respond to light the animals see
What do you get if you cross graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, and tungsten diselenide? Well, according to researchers at Hunan University, you get a field effect transistor that can act …read more Continue reading A Transistor? Memory? Wait, It’s Both!
True to its name, British running footwear company Inov-8 has never shied away from new materials or features. For a few years now, it’s been focusing in on graphene for its trail running shoes. Now it’s mixing a little nitrogen into the formula. More … Continue reading Inov-8’s new graphene trail running shoe literally nitro-boosts feet
There’s gold all around us, embedded in our electronics. There are people who collect e-waste and use various methods to extract gold from them. However, it is hard to qualify …read more Continue reading There’s Gold In That There Graphene
Discarded electronics can be a gold mine – literally. Researchers have developed an efficient new way to use graphene to recover gold from electronic waste, without needing any other chemicals or energy.Continue ReadingCategory: TechnologyTags: Waste, … Continue reading Graphene efficiently recovers gold from waste electronics
There’s nothing like nestling down in your own private, comfy tent when camping in the wilderness. Well, the Crocoon is designed to bring that same snuggly vibe to people’s homes, local parks, or even their beds.Continue ReadingCategory: Outdoors, Life… Continue reading Cozy pop-up Crucoon is like a couch-cushion fort for adults
A torn rotator cuff can be debilitating enough on its own, but unfortunately once such an injury has occurred, it’s more likely to happen again. An experimental new mesh could help keep that from happening, thanks to tiny pieces of graphene.Continue Re… Continue reading Graphene-infused mesh could keep rotator cuff injuries from recurring
Engineers at the University of Vienna have developed a new composite material that makes an efficient filter for removing organic pollutants from water. The system uses super-porous “nano-sponges” embedded on a sheet of graphene.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Nano-sponges on graphene make efficient filters of industrial wastewater
On Star Trek, if you want to go from one deck to another, you enter a “turbolift” and tell it where you want to go. However, many people have speculated …read more Continue reading Next Floor: Geosynchronous Satellites, Orbiting Laboratories
Scientists have developed a new electronic “tattoo” that can monitor a patient’s blood pressure continuously. The e-tattoo is made of graphene and can be worn for long periods without getting in the way, allowing for better health data.Continue Reading… Continue reading Graphene electronic-tattoo monitors blood pressure over time
