U of Tech Sydney: Graphene Paper

By on January 10, 2012 in Graphene News Story, Graphene Paper, Graphene Research, Graphene Solutions, Graphene Uses

In April 2011 the University of Technology Sydney reported remarkable results in developing graphene paper, They found it to be ten times stronger than steel, more flexible and recyclable. The composite material shows promise for developing lighter and stronger cars and planes, that use less fuel, generate less pollution and are cheaper to run and ecologically sustainable.

Graphene discovery will help keep electronics cool

By on January 9, 2012 in Discovery, Graphene News Story, Graphene Research, Graphene Uses, What is Graphene?

Nanowerk News reports of a graphene discovery made by a University of California, Riverside engineering professor and a team of researchers: “they have shown that the thermal properties of isotopically engineered graphene are far superior to those of graphene in its natural state”. This can lead to applications such as use as a thermal conductor for managing heat dissipation in everything from electronics to photovoltaic solar cells to radars. Read the story here.
