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, …

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 …

DIY Graphene Putty Makes Super Sensitive Sensor
It is sort of an electronics rule 34 that if something occurs, someone needs to sense it. [Bblorgggg], for reasons that aren’t immediately obvious, needs to sense ants moving over trees. No kidding. How are you going to do that? His answer was to use graphene. Actually, his super sensitive sensors mix …
Engineers develop flexible, water-repellent graphene circuits for washable electronics
“We’re taking low-cost, inkjet-printed graphene and tuning it with a laser to make functional materials,” said Jonathan Claussen, an Iowa State University assistant professor of mechanical engineering, an associate of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory and the corresponding author of the …
Researchers develop graphene-based flexible, water-repellent circuits for washable electronics
Researchers at Iowa State University, along with collaborators at Rice University, Ames Laboratory and Lehigh University, have designed a new graphene printing technology that can produce electronic circuits that are low-cost, flexible, highly conductive and water repellent. The scientists explain that …
