Researchers were able to grow graphene directly on a silicon wafer, reducing the number of steps it takes to manufacture graphene electronics. Read more »
Applied Graphene Materials hopes to scale up its production of the super strong and conductive material. But no one knows what kind of market will greet it in the coming years. Read more »
Graphene is nearly impermeable, so adding it to plastic could lead to lighter and more efficient natural gas tanks. Read more »
American Graphite Technologies doesn’t provide much detail about its plans for the incredible material, but it hopes developments will lead to new products. Read more »
The National Science Foundation recently awarded $745,000 to Graphene Frontiers, which wants to adapt roll-to-roll manufacturing to the emerging material. Read more »
Graphene can’t turn a flow of electrons “on” or “off” like silicon. Scientists have tried tactics like introducing impurities or stacking it with other materials to overcome this without luck. Read more »
Rolled up tubes of graphene could someday rival silicon for applications in solar cells, batteries, electronics and more. Read more »
New calculations document some of the one-atom-thick carbon form’s unusual properties. But while scientists have synthesized single strands of carbyne, they haven’t figured out how to make it into a sheet… Read more »
Molybdenum disulfide, germanane and silicene all have properties that make them more appealing than graphene for certain applications. Read more »
