Canada-based Leading Edge Materials (formerly Flinders Resources), a graphite mining company with principal assets located in Scandinavia, has announced the initiation of a new government-funded project entitled “Graphene Energy” which aims to apply graphene from the Company’s Woxna graphite facility to enhance the electrical conductivity and the mechanical strength of lithium ion battery anodes.
Panda Green Energy Group Limited recently announced a strategic collaboration agreement with AVIC BIAM New Materials Technology Engineering Company Limited to jointly develop and manufacture graphene VCI anti-corrosion materials.
Smart regulation of substance permeability through porous membranes is highly desirable for membrane applications. Inspired by the stomatal closure feature of plant leaves at relatively high temperature, here the authors report a nano-gating membrane with a negative temperature-response coefficient that is capable of tunable water gating and precise small molecule separation.
UCLA chemists have developed a new method to produce nanoribbons of graphene, next-generation structures that many scientists believe will one day power electronic devices. This research is published online in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
Tiny pores at a cell’s entryway act as miniature bouncers, letting in some electrically charged atoms—ions—but blocking others. Operating as exquisitely sensitive filters, these “ion channels” play a critical role in biological functions such as muscle contraction and the firing of brain cells. To rapidly transport the right ions through the cell membrane, the tiny […]
Silicon chips were the foundation of a famous global tech hub, and officials at the University of Adelaide think the “miracle material of the 21st century”, graphene, can help create another one. ‘Graphene Valley’ anyone?
Skeleton Technologies has announced the signing of a distribution agreement with Sumitomo Corporation Europe, with the aim of providing energy storage solutions for the rapidly growing hybrid electric and electric vehicle industry.
Great article from the archive – Physicists at UCLA set out to design a better transistor and ended up discovering a new way to think about the structure of space. Space is usually considered infinitely divisible — given any two positions, there is always a position halfway between.
Supercapacitors can store more energy than and are preferable to batteries because they are able to charge faster mainly due to the vertical graphene nanosheets (VGNs) that are larger and positioned closer together. VGNs are 3-D networks of carbon nanomaterial that grow in rows of vertical sheets, providing a large surface area for greater charge […]
Wyoming-mined coal could be a cheap source for graphene — a material with implications for electronics, aerospace technologies and other industries — which has fascinated scientists for more than a decade. At least that’s the hope of some researchers at the University of Wyoming who are investigating methods for “growing” graphene and other useful carbon materials […]
