Latest articles on graphene science, industry, and applications
The construction industry’s search for cement-reduction strategies has converged on a core principle: add a small amount of a high-performance nanomaterial to concrete, improve the cementitious matrix at the microstructural level, and use the resulting …
Read articleThe graphene industry’s sustainability narrative has historically focused on graphene’s own environmental footprint — is production energy-intensive, what waste streams …
In 2010, research-grade graphene oxide cost approximately $200,000 per kilogram from laboratory suppliers. By 2015, commercial graphene nanoplatelets were available at …
Coatings represent one of graphene’s most natural commercial applications. The reasoning is intuitive: graphene is an atomically thin, impermeable barrier that is chemically …
If you are buying graphene, evaluating a supplier, or assessing the quality of graphene-enhanced products, you will encounter Raman spectroscopy data. It is the single most common …
As graphene production scales from laboratory quantities to industrial volumes — tonnes per year and growing — the question of occupational safety becomes urgent rather than …
The graphene industry has matured considerably since the early startup boom of the 2010s. Many companies that raised capital on graphene hype have quietly folded. The survivors — …
No phrase in the graphene industry generates more excitement — and more confusion — than “graphene battery.” A web search for the term returns millions of results, most …
Graphene and carbon nanotubes are the two most prominent members of the carbon nanomaterial family. Both are built entirely from carbon atoms arranged in hexagonal lattices. Both …
If you have read anything about graphene, you have encountered the claim: graphene is 200 times stronger than steel. It appears in virtually every introductory article, investor …
If you want to buy nanoclay, your options range from a 25-kilogram bag of research-grade Cloisite from a lab supply catalog to a 20-ton container of crude bentonite from an Inner …
Most engineered drug delivery nanoparticles — liposomes, PLGA nanoparticles, mesoporous silica — require sophisticated synthesis, careful quality control, and high manufacturing …
Bentonite’s largest single market by volume isn’t nanotechnology — it’s drilling. Every year, millions of tons of bentonite go downhole in drilling fluids used by …
