Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms said to be the thinnest and strongest substance ever recorded, was hailed as a ...
The companies take the same basic manufacturing approach, which is to break apart graphite into the sheets of graphene that make it up — usually by intercalating acids between them. The ...

To mark the 20th anniversary of the discovery of Graphene, we'd like to celebrate the success of the 2024 Eli and Britt Harari Graphene Awards. Here you can have a glimpse at how the event went last ...
There’s absolutely nothing that flies in the face of the laws of physics when it comes to graphene capacitors – we’ve seen a few researchers at UCLA figure out how to make a graphene supercap.
What next for the sector? So is it all just pie in the sky? Will it ever be possible to make graphene of good enough quality in commercial quantities, or is the technology just going to wither and ...
University of Strathclyde’s Prof Stephen Lyth talks about the innovative material graphene and whether it has lived up to its initial hype.
Graphene – the world’s thinnest material isolated at The University of Manchester – could make batteries light, durable and suitable for high capacity energy storage from renewable generation.
It wasn’t long ago that graphene seemed to take the science and engineering communities by storm. You can make bits of it with a pencil and some sticky tape, yet it had all sorts of wonderful ...
The smell of cut grass, or the fumes from refueling your car are all the result of volatile organic compounds. A new approach ...
So far there have been no efficient ways to control these properties – and thus no way to make use of graphene’s potential in healthcare. Now researchers at Chalmers University of Technology ...
