Just as graphene varies from ordinary graphite, stanenes behave extremely differently in order to humble tin in bulk form. Due to relatively strong spin-orbit interactions for electrons in heavy elements, single-layer tin has been predicted to be a “topological insulator,” also called a quantum spin Hall …
Proton transport in graphene shows promise for renewable energy
Researchers at The University of Manchester have discovered another new and unexpected physical effect in graphene – membranes that could be used in devices to artificially mimic photosynthesis. The new findings demonstrated an increase in the rate at which the material conducts protons when it …

The Graphene for Battery Market to Grow steadily at a CAGR of +39% during the forecast period. Graphene has the potential to be widely used in the field of physics, chemistry, information, energy, and device manufacturing. It is a thin, mechanically strong, transparent, and flexible conductor.
New 2018 Callaway Chrome Soft Balls Revealed
For the 2018 Callaway Chrome Soft ball a new Graphene Dual SoftFast Core is undoubtedly the headline change. It sees graphene – a material stronger than diamond – infused into the outer core. By using a stronger material, the outer core could be made thinner, which in turn allows for a larger, but …

University of Arkansas Research May Lead to New Source of Green Energy
Thibado and his colleague, assistant professor Pradeep Kumar, discovered the potential of two-dimensional materials while observing the motion of graphene, a two-dimensional form of carbon, mounted on a copper grid. Using a high-powered microscope, they observed that the freestanding graphene …
Crumpled graphene balls to enhance Li-ion batteries by preventing dendrite growth
Researchers at Northwestern University in the U.S have designed a way to use “crumpled graphene balls” to improve Li-ion batteries. The team explained that in current batteries, lithium is usually atomically distributed in another material like graphite or silicon in the anode. However, using an additional …
Building better batteries using crumpled graphene balls
The team at Northwestern University’s approach actually builds on a type of graphene it developed back in 2011. Literally taking inspiration from a trashcan of scrunched up paper, the engineers came up with a way of crumpling graphene sheets into balls by first atomizing them into tiny water droplets.
UK Researcher Unveils World's First Automotive Graphene Composite Component Prototype
Ahmed Elmarakbi, an automotive composites professor at the University of Sunderland (UK), has produced a prototype of the world’s first graphene composite component for an automotive application. Elmarakbi is leading Task 10.11 – Composites for Automotive, part of the European Commission’s …
2-D tin (stanene) without buckling: A possible topological insulator
In its wake have followed a host of “post-graphene materials” – structural analogues of graphene made of other elements like silicon or germanium. Now, an international … Just as graphene differs from ordinary graphite, so does stanene behave very differently to humble tin in bulk form. Because of …
