Sweden-based student Arne Quellmalz is working on technologies that could replace the typically bulky, expensive, and high-energy-consuming gas sensors available today. Using graphene and innovative integration techniques, Quellmatz’s research could lead to the manufacture of gas sensors that are small and cheap enough to be

Scientists at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed graphene coatings that act as carriers capable of releasing the bactericidal agent usnic acid over prolonged periods, protecting surfaces of implanted biomedical devices from being colonized by pathogenic bacteria. One of the key challenges when it

Bacterial infections relating to medical implants place a huge burden on healthcare and cause great suffering to patients worldwide. Now, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed a new method to prevent such infections, by covering a graphene-based material with bactericidal molecules. “Through our research,

A team of researchers at Korean state-invested Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has successfully cultivated world’s first graphene without wrinkles, folds, and ad-layers, raising the prospect of becoming a next-generation semiconductor material. The Ministry of Science and ICT said Thursday that the team – led

Graphene is the thinnest material yet known, composed of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. That structure gives it many unusual properties that hold great promise for real-world applications: batteries, super capacitors, antennas, water filters, transistors, solar cells, and touchscreens,
