While it’s too early to say whether graphene will live up to the hype, it’s now appearing in everything from motorcycle helmets to aircon units.
Who says scientists aren’t artistic? A team of researchers have done some amazing kirigami work, an ancient Japanese paper art, using graphene.
Something is needed to give the stalwart lithium-ion battery a boost for our increasingly power hungry mobile devices.
Australian industries have reached a turning point. With old industries on the way out, the Australian manufacturing sector’s biggest challenge is to move from a low-cost mass production model to one that…
Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms, is being touted as the material that could change how electronics are made. But it’s difficult to make graphene in forms needed for electronics. Now, researchers…
The development could allow research teams with limited resources to manufacture graphene.
Assuming you are geeky enough to open up any mobile device on the market – a phone, tablet or laptop - the most glaringly obvious component of the device is the battery: it generally consumes up to (if…
By mimicking the structure of cork, graphene can be turned into a strong yet elastic material. Graphene is formed when graphite…
New materials just one atom thick could help make graphene even more useful.
Three-dimensional images you can see without special glasses have been created with a clever user of lasers and graphene.
