The Shenzhen Geim Graphene Research Center was established in Shenzhen, China in early December. The new center joins other prominent research centers and labs named after and led by Nobel laureates such as Robert H. Grubbs, Shuji Nakamura and Barry Marshall, all pioneers in global science, and technology trends in energy, materials, optics and medicine.
Graphene is known to possess strong optical nonlinearity which turned out to be suitable for creation of efficient saturable absorbers in mode locked fiber lasers. Nonlinear response of graphene can be further enhanced by the presence of graphene plasmons.
Conferences are a great place to learn about new development in the graphene industry and meet with fellow professionals. There are many excellent graphene events coming up in 2018 all over the world. The following article will detail the most prominent graphene events. If you plan on attending other events (or if you are organizing an graphene event unlisted in our event directory) be sure to comment below. Some of next-year events (some important ones in the US and China) haven’t been announced yet, so be sure to stay tuned for new graphene conferences.
Pioneer Corporation, leader in optical disc technology and a worldwide manufacturer of audio, video and computer equipment, has launched the SEC-S801BT – a heart rate sports earphones with graphene diaphragm. These will be made available in China as a start.
A team of researchers from China has designed a new growth method that produces smooth and pristine graphene. Using a carefully engineered substrate, the researchers can grow high-quality graphene free of wrinkles that often form during manufacture. The team reports that the super-smooth graphene has shown improved electrical properties over rumpled graphene grown by the usual methods.
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory have demonstrated a new process to sheathe metal under graphene, which may lead to new and better-controlled properties. The researchers encapsulated dysprosium, a magnetic rare-earth metal, by bombarding the top layer of bulk graphite with ions to create defects on its surface, followed by high-temperature deposition of the metal. It resulted in “mesas” or islands of dysprosium underneath a single layer of graphene. The formations are said to be significantly different than anything the Laboratory’s 2D materials experts have ever seen.
Scientists at The University of Manchester have reported the development of a simple and cost-effective method to manufacture graphene-based wearable electronic textiles on an industrial scale. The new method could allow graphene e-textiles to be manufactured at commercial production rates of 150 meters per minute, the team said. “Our simple and cost-effective way of producing multi-functional graphene textiles could easily be scaled up for many real-life applications, such as sportswear, military gear, and medical clothing,” said the researchers.
Researchers at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) are exploring the practical applications of graphene in the space industry. In a recent experiment, they launched specially-designed graphene-enhanced carbon fiber material into near space using high altitude balloons.
Scientists have observed the electronic structure of graphene in laboratory designed semiconductor. This finding could lead to advanced optoelectronics and data processing. The new development in materials science comes from Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science. Here technologists and scientists have successfully manipulated matter at the nanoscale. One study has led to a key breakthrough in materials science: the engineering of an “artificial graphene.” This has come about by recreating the electronic structure of graphene in a semiconductor device.
