Researchers have determined that graphene is safe for neurons and non-neuronal cells and has long-term biocompatibility — opening the door for use in devices that interface with the nervous system. Following this new finding, the research team will begin to use graphene with different types of tissues to better understand cell physiology.
In a perfect world, we would succeed in making computers both incredibly cheap and extremely fast. For the longest time, reaching this goal seemed well out of reach. Thanks to new research, it turns out that graphene-based computers use far less power while boosting computer performance by as much as 1,000%. It is a discovery that could have major consequences for all computer-related activities.
Clean graphene be set free without damage to its growth substrate, using only simple safe chemicals, according to researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign – aiming to release it for use in flexible transparent electronics.
A new understanding of the physics of conductive materials has been uncovered by scientists observing the unusual movement of electrons in graphene.
Graphene Flagship and partners on the quest for new materials by Swedish popular science mag (in Swedish).
Gallium Nitride (GaN) based light emitting diodes (LEDs) which utilize a quantum well structure have been used in the ultra-violet (UV) range for the past decade and have gathered a significant amount of attention for various applications. Despite their usage, they do have several drawbacks that need to be addressed. A team of Researchers from Taiwan have incorporated graphene quantum dots (GQDs) into conventional GaN UV-LEDs in an effort to alleviate some of the issues whilst simultaneously improving the performance these LEDs.
Researchers have designed a graphene-based tattoo that can be directly laminated onto the skin with water, similar to a temporary tattoo. But instead of featuring artistic or colorful designs, the new tattoo is nearly transparent.
Researchers have recently developed a three-dimensional (3D) microporous graphene material by using carbon dioxide (CO2). The 3D cabbage-coral-like graphene has excellent superconductor properties and can potentially be used in several applications that require efficient energy storage and discharge.
Graphene Flagship Partners RWTH Aachen University and AMO GmbH, both based in Germany, recently launched a new joint research center with a focus on efficiently bridging the gap between fundamental science and applications within graphene and related materials based electronics and photonics.
