The idea of sailing through space and breaking through the current frontiers of humanity is dazzling. The intrinsic beauty of this endeavour, for me, lies in the circularity of history. It’s about revisiting the ages of the big European explorers that sailed to new worlds. These journeys taught us about those new places, but most […]
Researchers at the University of Connecticut, assisted by ones from the University of Akron, have patented a unique process for exfoliating graphene, as well as manufacturing innovative graphene nanocomposites that have potential uses in a variety of applications.
Nanomachines which can drill into cancer cells, killing them in just 60 seconds, have been developed by scientists.
In 2012, researchers from Stony Brook University established Theragnostic Technologies to develop a new efficient and cost-effective graphene-based MRI contrast agent. In 2015 Theragnostic launched the product, called ManGraDex, which needs several of years of clinical trials before it can be commercialized (the company aims for 2022 or 2023).
A team of researchers led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Raytheon BBN Technologies developed a new device that can detect single photons across a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum, from the higher energy visible to much lower energy radio frequencies. The device consists of a sheet of graphene contacted on two ends […]
Graphene is a super-thin and super-strong material that has scientists and engineers very excited. There’s a lot of hype about graphene’s applications, thanks to a handful of remarkable properties. It’s 1 million times thinner than a human hair but 200 times stronger than steel. It’s flexible but can act as a perfect barrier, and is an […]

The National Science Foundation recently awarded University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee scientists $1.5 million to perfect a method of mass-producing graphene-based small water sensors using inkjet printing. The goal is to determine whether the process can be customized in order to scale up production and in a more economic way than traditional manufacturing methods.
The European Commission recently awarded nearly €3.7 million ($4.4 million USD) to an international initiative in the field of early diagnosis of brain cancer. The four-year program, which will be led by Plymouth University, is called An Integrated Platform for Developing Brain Cancer Diagnostic Techniques, or AiPBAND. It will focus on gliomas with specific objectives […]
