Perovskite thin-film solar cells have been hailed as the next generation of low-cost, high-efficiency photovoltaic power generation if durability challenges can be overcome. Graphene, a two-dimensional wonder material that is finding its way into everything from virus killing sports equipment to electromagnetic radiation shields for satellite electronics, may also be the breakthrough scientist are looking for when it comes to creating more resilient perovskite solar cells....
Graphene Composites and G-Form are teaming up to develop and distribute athletic protective equipment that not only guards the wearer against blunt trauma but also from viruses such as COVID-19. G-Form already rides on the cutting-edge of technology when it comes to manufacturing comfortable athletic protective gear. The company's SmartFlex pads are constructed from materials that can change molecular structure on contact – soft when lightly touched, becoming harder with s...
Recently, advances in theoretical and experimental phenomena in studies surrounding spin transport electronics have emerged providing evidence that graphene and 2D materials could move electronics beyond Moore's Law. Intel co-founder Gordon Moore postulated that the number of transistors, those tiny on and off switches that represent the standard computer binary system, on an integrated circuit would double every two years and the costs to acquire computing power would be cut...
A bit of graphene could double the strength of carbon fiber while reducing the cost of this material prized for its strength-to-weight ratio. About half the weight of aluminum but much stronger and rigid, carbon fiber is an ideal material for aircraft, sporting and safety equipment. At more than $10 a pound, however, this material has yet to compete with aluminum, which sells for less than $1/lb, for most commercial applications. The aerospace sector, where carbon fiber's supe...
Graphene, the strongest and most highly conductive material known to man, happens to make really good speakers. Canadian start-up Ora Graphene Audio Inc. is taking advantage of the unique attributes offered by this miracle material in the world's first graphene headphones. Based in Montreal, Quebec, Ora originated from a conversation between co-founder Dr. Robert-Eric Gaskell and his brother, Dr. Peter Gaskell. "The idea to apply graphene to loudspeakers came from an...
Providing the ability to traverse mountain trails or urban landscapes at blazing speeds and with less leg power, electronic bikes are now more than just a simple recreational activity, or even a low-cost and green transportation option for commuters. While the overall concept of a bicycle has not changed much, today's e-bike manufacturers are advancing new technologies and groundbreaking materials to produce the fastest and smartest cycles ever made. App-customizable...
