Innovation Forums put Spotlight on Commercialisation at Graphene Week

The Graphene Week Innovation Forums brought industrial and commercial graphene research to the forefront, highlighting key challenges and successes in the journey from lab to the factory floor.

As the Graphene Flagship continues its journey, more and more commercial opportunities for graphene are identified. To reflect this, the Innovation Forums at Graphene Week in Athens were an opportunity to focus on industrial and commercial research into GRMs, with speakers from industry, national laboratories and technology transfer.

UK-China collaboration will develop graphene standards

The first UK-China Graphene Standardization Cooperation Working Group Conference, recently held in Chongqing, China, brought news of an agreement to collaborate on developing and submitting a co-authored International Organization for Standardization (ISO) proposal by February 2018. This joins other recent graphene standardization efforts, like NPL & NGI’s good practice guide for graphene metrology and NPL’s first ISO (International Organization for Standardization) graphene standard.

Graphene-based structures found to have extremely long spin relaxation lifetime

Researchers from Spain’s ICN2 institute have discovered that graphene/TMDC heterostructures can exhibit etremely long spin relaxation lifetime. These structure feature lifetimes that are orders of magnitude larger than anything observed in 2D materials – and in fact these results point to a qualitatively new regime of spin relaxation.
