A smog eating graphene photocatalyst has been developed that could help reduce atmospheric pollution. It works by degrading Nitrogen Oxides. “Graphene Flagship partners the University of Bologna, Politecnico di Milano, CNR, NEST, Italcementi HeidelbergCement...

Making Methanol Just got Easier

Dec, 2 2019 | Energy

Making methanol just got a lot easier, now that chemists at Yale have opened up a new electron highway. They use graphene as a catalyst. “The discovery, published online Nov. 27 in the journal Nature, finds a novel solution for two chemical tasks: producing...

Graphene based Electrodes for Lighter Batteries

Nov, 12 2019 | Electronics, Energy

Graphene based electrodes are enabling the development of batteries and supercapacitors with the same sort of mechanical properties as structural body panels. This will (one day) lead to lighter electric vehicles and aircraft. “The rise in popularity of electric...

Twisted physics: Magic angle graphene

Nov, 5 2019 | Electronics, Energy

Twisted physics is what happens when two layers graphene are tilted at the magic angle. “Last year, scientists demonstrated that twisted bilayer graphene—a material made of two atom-thin sheets of carbon with a slight twist—can exhibit alternating...
