Even with the toughest-looking bike locks, many people still say, “An angle grinder would go right through that.” Well, Hiplok’s new D1000 is claimed to be different – it’s touted as being “the first portable anti-angle-grinder bike lock.”Continue Read… Continue reading Graphene composite Hiplok D1000 is designed to stop angle grinders
One of the many areas graphene promises to have transformative effects is in fortifying construction materials like concrete and asphalt. A first-of-a-kind trial now underway seeks to apply the wonder material’s impressive attributes to one of the UK’s… Continue reading World-first resurfacing project mixes graphene into freshly laid UK road
Whether it’s forming special foams that act as thermal switches, mixing with ceramics to form ultra-tough electrolytes or being used to cage delicate silicon particles, graphene is already shaping the future of battery technology in some interesting wa… Continue reading Two-faced graphene offers sodium-ion battery a tenfold boost in capacity
Electronics, and batteries in particular, are vulnerable to very high or very low temperatures, but a new thermal switch could help deal with both. It’s made from (what else) graphene foam that can dynamically trap heat when it’s cold out, or allow hea… Continue reading Graphene foam “thermal switch” keeps batteries warm or cool on demand

Is there anything graphene can’t do? Researchers at MIT have found yet another use for the over-achieving wonder material, by making a reusable filter out of graphene oxide foam that acts like a magnet for uranium, effectively pulling the radioactive e… Continue reading Charged graphene foam acts as “uranium magnet” for water purification
After decades of improvements to hard disk drive (HDD) technology, manufacturers are now close to taking the next big leap that will boost storage density to new levels. Using laser-assisted …read more Continue reading How Graphene May Enable The Next Generations Of High-Density Hard Drives
Researchers at Rice University have developed a way to turn carbon from a variety of sources straight into useful forms such as graphene or diamond. The technique uses a “flash” of electricity to heat the carbon, converting it into a final form that’s … Continue reading New method converts carbon into graphene or diamond in a flash
As scientists work to shore up the strength and durability of concrete, it mightn’t come as a huge surprise that the wonder material graphene is proving to be a promising additive. As the world’s strongest artificial material, it may have a lot to offe… Continue reading Durable concrete uses graphene particles to fend off water and cracks
This graphene-based aerogel is the lightest sound insulation material ever manufactured, say researchers at the University of Bath, who have demonstrated its ability to damp down noise by up to 16 decibels despite weighing just 2.1 kg per cubic meter (… Continue reading World’s lightest sound insulator could radically reduce jet engine noise
