The addition of just a touch of graphene could make the world’s most ubiquitous building material stronger, more durable and even a touch greener. The first graphene-enhanced concrete is about to hit the American market. April 2021 will see the culmination of a project between the

Researchers from DGIST have now found a way to keep living, wet cells viable in an ultra-high-vacuum environment, using graphene, allowing—like never before—accurate high-resolution visualization of the undistorted molecular structure and distribution of lipids in cell membranes. This could enhance our bioimaging abilities considerably, improving

(Nanowerk News) The U.S. pulp and paper industry uses large quantities of water to produce cellulose pulp from trees. The water leaving the pulping process contains a number of organic byproducts and inorganic chemicals. To reuse the water and the chemicals, paper mills rely on

UPPSALA, Sweden, Feb. 23, 2021 — Uppsala University researchers, in collaboration with graphene materials company Graphmatech, demonstrated a method for lowering the reflectivity of copper powder. The work could lead to more densely printed parts through laser additive manufacturing (AM). Copper poses certain challenges in

Business developer Cinzia Spinato helps nanoscientists to translate their inventions into marketable products. I’m a business developer at the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) in Barcelona, Spain. My job is to help scientists to market their ideas and inventions. Lately, most of those

One of the main culprits of global warming is the vast amount of carbon dioxide pumped out into the atmosphere mostly from burning fossil fuels and the production of steel and cement. In response, scientists have been trying out a process that can sequester waste

Researchers at two universities have devised two very different possibilities for exploiting graphene as an energy-harvesting transducer using thermal or RF energy. What you’ll learn: Research on a circuit capturing graphene thermal motion and converting it into current. Research on combining graphene with boron nitride,
