To find out how light affects the behaviour of protons permeating through the carbon sheet, a team led by Dr. Marcelo Lozada-Hidalgo and Professor Sir Andre Geim fabricated pristine graphene membranes and decorated them on one side with platinum nanoparticles. The Manchester scientists were …
Newly released Callaway balls feature 'strongest material in the world'
The biggest challenge in designing a golf ball is satisfying the contradictory desires of a player. How do you make a ball that launches high and doesn’t spin off the tee but sits soft and DOES spin on shots around the green? According to Callaway, the answer lies in graphene, a strong, flexible …
Callaway Officially Introduces Chrome Soft And Chrome Soft X Golf Balls
“We’ve innovated at every layer, starting with our groundbreaking new Graphene Dual SoftFast Core,” said Dr. Alan Hocknell, SVP, R&D, Callaway Golf. “The result is an extremely fast and soft-feeling ball that promotes high-launch and low spin off the tee for long distance, and incredible shot-stopping …
Callaway Launches New Chrome Soft and Chrome Soft X Golf Balls
Callaway has unveiled its new Chrome Soft and Chrome Soft X Golf Balls for 2018, which feature Dual SoftFast cores that include revolutionary space-age graphene, notably the strongest and thinnest possible material known to man. Graphene, 200 times stronger than steel but flexible enough to be …
Photon-friendly graphene membranes mimic photosynthesis to produce hydrogen
Researchers at Manchester University have discovered that the rate at which graphene conducts protons increases 10 fold when it is illuminated with sunlight. Dubbed the “photo-proton” effect, the finding could lead to graphene membranes being used to produce hydrogen from artificial photosynthesis, …
Running shoes get a graphene boost
British outdoor brand Inov-8 claims to be the first company to incorporate graphene into running and fitness shoes. The Descente-owned company has partnered with the National Graphene Institute at The University of Manchester on its G-Series footwear line. According to Inov-8 the new shoes are …

Adding graphene girders to silicon electrodes could double the life of lithium batteries
New research led by WMG, at the University of Warwick has found an effective approach to replacing graphite in the anodes of lithium-ion batteries using silicon, by reinforcing the anode’s structure with graphene girders. This could more than double the life of rechargeable lithium-ion based batteries …
University of Arkansas Research May Lead to New Source of Green Energy
The samples of graphene in Thibado’s lab measure about 10 microns across, so tiny that more than 20,000 of them could fit on the head of a pin. Each ripple in the graphene measures only 10 nanometers by 10 nanometers, yet may yield as much as 10 picowatts of power. As a result, each of these …
