OLED displays are very sensitive to oxygen and moisture, and the need to protect the displays is one of the major challenges of this next-generation display technology. First generation OLED displays were protected with a glass barrier, but glass is not easily flexible and so cannot be used in flexible OLEDs. Flexible OLEDs are today […]
The University of Mississippi has established a new center to advance translational science and engineering of graphene-based technologies. The Center for Graphene Research and Innovation will focus on bridging the gap between university-based science and discovery and industry-led innovations and applications for graphene.
Scientists at the University of Sussex may have found a solution to the long-standing problem of brittle smartphone screens. Professor Alan Dalton and his team have developed a new way to make smartphone touch screens that are cheaper, less brittle, and more environmentally friendly. On top of that, the new approach also promises devices that […]
Graphene’s ability to detect a variety of chemical and biological molecules would seem to make it a perfect match for sensors. But because graphene is a conductor and lacks an inherent band gap, it’s hard to fashion the material into a transistor that can be turned on and off. In order to make a sensor […]
FLAG-ERA has announced the outcome of its second Joint Transnational Call for projects in synergy with the Graphene Flagship and the Human Brain Project (FLAG-ERA JTC 2017). Relating to the Graphene Flagship, in total 17 basic and applied research projects have been recommended for funding to the national research funding organisations by the FLAG-ERA JTC 2017 […]
Researchers at the University of Waterloo managed to significantly improve supercapacitors, by combining graphene with an oily liquid salt in the supercapacitors’ electrodes. The researchers explained that the liquid salt serves as a spacer to separate the thin graphene sheets, preventing them from stacking. That dramatically increases their exposed surface area, a key to maximizing […]
Graphene, known worldwide as a potential wonder material, is asserting its dominance across nanotechnology, materials science, chemistry and physics fields. New research is being published all the time, be it in small open-access journals or high impact paywall journals. Industry is advancing at a fast pace and is being governed by organizations such as the […]
Andrew Wilkinson of Graphene Enabled Systems says many businesses are poised, ready to pounce on the opportunities graphene could bring.
Image sticking phenomena in liquid crystal (LC) devices became obvious soon after the production of the first nematic LC displays and have been a concern ever since.
A new research centre at the University of Manchester in England aimed at marketing products and technologies made from a “wonder material” known as graphene will be called The Masdar Building. Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company, better known as Masdar, is the principal funder of the purpose-built Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC), which held its […]
