3-D graphene can function as an effective — and very economical — substitute for the platinum that is commonly used in dye-sensitized solar cells, according to new research from Michigan Technological University. By substituting the newly created and relatively cheap material known as three-dimensional graphene for the very expensive and … [continued]
Graphene micro-sheets may be considerably more toxic to human cells than was previously thought, according to new research from Brown University. The new research has found that the sharp edges of graphene sheets can easily pierce cell membranes, and then after piercing the membranes, be pulled into the cell where … [continued]
Scientists at Columbia Engineering have discovered yet another talent in graphene, a unique new material that consists of a sheet of carbon only one atom thick. Graphene is already under the spotlight for its potential use in ultra-efficient electronics, batteries, solar energy, and even desalination, and now it seems that … [continued]
