Graphene-gold lenses could enable advanced lasers, holography technologies and telecommunications

Researchers at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS, South Korea), in collaboration with teams from the University of Birmingham and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), have developed unique graphene-based lenses with tunable features. These optical devices, made of graphene and a punctured gold surface, could become optical components for advanced applications […]

Ultrathin and flat graphene metalenses gain more properties

On the quest for miniaturization, scientists at the Center for Integrated Nanostructure Physics, within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS, South Korea), in collaboration with researchers from the University of Birmingham and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), develop credit card-thick, flat lenses with tunable features. These optical devices, made of graphene […]

Graphene Balls in Batteries

Graphene is constantly being employed into various battery and energy storage technologies and this has become one of the largest growing areas of graphene research commercially. A team composed of academics and industry scientists from Korea have created a graphene-silica assembly, called a graphene ball, for use as an anodic material and a cathodic coating […]
