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 …

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.
