Physicists at the University of Manchester were the first to isolate graphene in 2004, and their research won them the Nobel Prize in physics. Graphene is a derivative of carbon, designed to be flexible and stretchable but unbreakable. It is made up of a layer of bonded carbon atoms, making it the thinnest …
Scientist's develop porous scaffold to boost battery capacity
Creating a scaffold on which lithium can deposit as the battery charges is one potential solution to this, however the volume of lithium changes as the battery charges and discharges, which can easily damage the support structure. Scientists at Northwestern University found that crumpled graphene balls …
Arizona-Based Startup Makes Down Under Deal for Graphite and Graphene Technology
The agreement secures for Urbix an even larger supply of the flake graphite required for the pristine graphene they are producing at their state-of-the-art laboratory located at a tech accelerator in Mesa, Arizona. In addition, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two companies provisions …
Boffins claim battery breakthrough using, er, crumpled graphene balls
BOFFINS CLAIM THAT crumpled graphene balls could be used to make batteries lighter and capable of holding more lithium. Scientists at the Northwestern University in the US claim that the new discovery could turn the technology industry “upside down”, with lithium-metal batteries holding the …
New Measurements Show Spin Transistor is Within Reach
University of Groningen physicists Siddhartha Omar and professor Bart van der Wees have shown that it is possible to influence the lifetime of spin in graphene. They used tungsten disulfide to induce spin orbit coupling in graphene and were able to tune the effect with an electric field. This confirms that …
2D Sheets of Tin Atoms to Have Exotic Uses in Electronics
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 …
Expected Growth in Graphene for Battery Market from 2017-2022 to Guide: Trends, Analysis by …
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 …
