Graphene is the thinnest material yet known, composed of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. That structure gives it many unusual properties that hold great promise for ...

What if the material that could transform nearly every industry was just one atom thick? Below, Matt Ferrell takes you through how graphene, a substance 200 times stronger than steel yet lighter than ...

In 1874, the Scottish-American industrialist Andrew Carnegie completed the mile-long Eads Bridge, made of steel and crossing the River Mississippi into St. Louis. At the time, nobody believed that ...

Graphene is often described as a wonder material. It is strong, electrically conductive, thermally efficient, and remarkably versatile. Yet despite more than a decade of excitement, many ...

Graphene-boosted plastic makes auto parts 20% stronger, 18% lighter By Ben Coxworth November 18, 2025 They may not look like much, but these Gratek pellets reportedly represent "the first composite ...

A new fabrication method guides liquid gallium beneath graphene after lithography, producing durable superconducting devices that maintain performance through standard chip processing. (Nanowerk ...

For the first time, researchers have pushed electrons to flow so fast they went supersonic, creating a shockwave. The currents of electricity flowing through our devices share a name with river ...

First Graphene said the integration of graphene into perovskite solar cells (PSCs), developed in partnership with New South Wales-based Halocell Energy and the Queensland University of Technology, has ...

Graphene’s unique properties continue to drive breakthroughs from quantum computing to sustainable concrete. As research accelerates, its role in next-generation technologies is becoming clearer, and ...

Researchers have achieved a major breakthrough by generating quantum spin currents in graphene—without relying on bulky magnetic fields. By pairing graphene with a magnetic material, they unlocked a ...

Researchers have created a new 2D carbon material that is actually stronger than graphene. The material was created by researchers at Rice University, and they say that it is strong enough to prevent ...
