A research team from Rice University has achieved an energy storage breakthrough based on a new, relatively cheap and simple method for manufacturing MoS2.
A completely functional 3D printable graphene battery — one based on graphene nanoplatelet functionalized 3D printing filament — was recently developed by researchers at Graphene 3D Lab. The new prototype 3D printable graphene battery was unveiled at the recent Inside 3D Printing Conference that took place in Santa Clara, California. … [continued]
The Graphene Flagship — an initiative intended to bring together researchers, engineers, and corporations interested in advancing graphene-based technologies — recently welcomed its first four associated members. Those first four associated members — ABB (Switzerland), Netzsch (Germany), NetComposites (UK), and Imerys (Switzerland) — represent what is simply one of the first … [continued]
A new 3D-printed battery prototype from the aptly named company Graphene 3D lab embeds “nanoplatelets” of graphene in polymer filaments for 3D printing.
A researcher loses $10 but at least she comes up with a new pathway for mass producing high quality synthetic graphene for next-gen clean tech gear
If graphene were on the stock market, I could see it having similar investor enthusiasm to what Tesla has. People are absolutely crazy about it, and there are some staggering numbers that explain why. We’ve been covering graphene for quite awhile, and my take on it is that it will have … [continued]
Word on the street is that Tesla may be working on a 500-mile graphene battery. Graphene is, of course, a kind of supermaterial, and it’s possible Tesla is looking into it, but I’m also a bit skeptical. First, let’s look at the reasons why someone might think Tesla is working on an … [continued]
Okay, so it ain’t no Egyptian cotton, but a team composed of researchers from MIT, the University of Michigan, and the Indian Institute of Technology has come up with a new way to fabricate a graphene sheet, which overcomes some of the hurdles that have been bedeviling researchers ever since … [continued]
In an important advance in the drive towards the unlocking of graphene’s noted potential, researchers have developed a technique that allows for the electronic properties of graphene boron nitride (GBN) heterostructures to be modified using nothing but light. GBN heterostructures have been noted for their potential use in electronics (and … [continued]
