Types of graphene

Types of graphene

Types of graphene – Technological breakthrough guarantees production of high quality graphene. Due to the discovery of more graphene applications, the University of Pennsylvania has established a small research company named “Graphene Frontiers” to provide technological solutions for production of quality graphene. This body was awarded 0.744 million dollars in …

Graphene Integrated Circuit - Super computer

Graphene Integrated Circuit

Graphene Integrated Circuit – The future of Super Computers The first graphene-only integrated circuit was created by International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM) three years ago. However, this was not a complete breakthrough because they used largely silicon and metal for much of the hardware. University of California Santa Barbara has made …

Pure Graphene

Pure Graphene

American researchers discover how to create pure Graphene US researchers who worked on ways of making electrical contacts on graphene made two important discoveries in the process. Through use of a novel fabrication technique they have managed to create stacked layers of the finest quality of pure graphene yet. Simultaneously, …

Graphene Lunar Elevator

Lunar Elevator

Graphene the perfect material for a Lunar Elevator Scientists at Columbia University conducted a study which revealed that graphene retains most of its mechanical properties even when it has been stitched together from small fragments. This discovery may have been the first step toward large scale manufacture of carbon nanotubes, …

Graphene Ink

Graphene Ink

Graphene Ink and Foldable Electronics The graphene ink has three unique qualities which make it very important; it’s a good conductor of electricity, highly flexible and has optical transparency. This is a major step towards production of cheap and foldable electronics. Developers have used graphene to print out circuits on …

Graphene solar cells

Graphene solar cells

Investing in Graphene – Graphene Solar Cells Graphene is considered the next generation material for solar panel construction where it is expected to be a primary component in solar cells. By coating it with a silicon film, it retains its transparency and conductivity, thereby making it the best material for …
