The fabric used to make the ski suits incorporates Directa Plus’ Graphene Plus (G+), which makes the material both bacteriostatic and electrostatic, thereby reducing the friction with air and water to enable top sporting performance. In addition, the thermally conductive properties of the suits mean they are able to act as a filter between the body and the external environment, ensuring that the wearer always remains at an ideal temperature.
A group of researchers at Brown University have demonstrated a new way to fabricate super-crumpled and super-wrinkled sheets of graphene. Graphene is a nanomaterial that exhibits interesting properties. The study reveals that topography can boost some of the unique properties of graphene.
Capturing infrared light with graphene-based nanostructures has been demonstrated by scientists from CIC nanoGUNE, in partnership with Graphenea and ICFO. When light combines with graphene’s charge oscillation, the result is a mixture of charge oscillations and light referred to as plasmon, which can be compressed into minute volumes that are millions times smaller than those present in traditional dielectric optical cavities.
Researchers from MIT and other institutions have discovered a new phenomenon of the behavior of plasmons (a kind of quasiparticle) as they move accross tiny ribbons of two-dimensional materials, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD). These materials possess a hexagonal structure similar to chicken wire.
A simple and effective technique to extract graphene, and the contaminants and toxins they from water using light has been developed by researchers at Monash University. The research work is being published in Nanoscale, the journal of the Royal Society of Chemistry. The new findings could considerably influence large volume water purification.
An international team of scientists led by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has performed novel measurements of graphene's electrical response to synthetic air, exposing a distinct knowledge gap that needs to be bridged before the commercialisation of graphene-based gas sensors.
Hydrogen is the most plentiful and lightest element on Earth and in the Universe. Scientists are trying to develop hydrogen as a carbon-free, clean, limitless fuel source for cars as well as other applications, such as telecommunication towers and portable generators, with water being the only combustion byproduct.
A SPIE Europe sponsored workshop will be led by Frank Koppens of ICFO (Institut de Ciències Fotòniques, Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology) and Nathalie Vermeulen of B-PHOT (Brussels Photonics Team, Vrije Universiteit Brussel) on April 5, 2016, in Brussels. The workshop will discuss the transition of graphene-based photonics technology from the research stage through to the commercialization stage.
Phantoms Foundation is pleased to launch the 3rd edition of the catalogue of companies working in Graphene worldwide.
The question at the University of Manchester regarding interaction in two-dimensional (2D) materials is whether self-rotation occurs in heterostructures if various crystals are clubbed together, such as graphene on boron nitride. It was observed that perfect stacking between boron nitride and graphene occurs, and when the heterostructural layers are disturbed, the crystals undergo self-rotation and retain the ideal configuration. This effect was known at the nanoscale, but it was not seen on larger scales until the recent findings, published in Nature Communications.
