Inventor Anthony Paul Bellezza, owner of Bellezza Technologies, has pioneered a novel 2D graphene fusion process for semiconductor assembly, operating at low temperatures, which may hold great potential for CMOS chip manufacturing. This innovative process addresses the longstanding challenge of integrating graphene into circuits.On his innovative graphene fusion process, Belleza said: "My method enables the utilization of 2D graphene as an interconnect material in semiconductor circuits, forming a low-resistance, metallurgical bond with the substrate. This advancement will lead to the production of faster and more efficient computers by replacing traditional copper circuits, which are approaching their physical limitations".

Directa Plus has reported revenue growth for the first three months of 2025, though it expects to post a widened loss for 2024.The company said it has delivered first-quarter revenue of around €2 million, which is up around 40% from a year before. This was driven by contract renewals across its Environmental and Textiles divisions. Directa Plus is due to release its 2024 results in mid-May. It expects to post a full-year loss before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization of around €3.6 million, widened from a €2.6 million loss in 2023 and compared to company-compiled market consensus for a €3.4 million loss. Directa Plus also expects to report reduced revenue of around €6.7 million for the year, down 36% from €10.5 million in 2023.

Modern cancer treatments have evolved beyond traditional chemotherapy to include targeted approaches such as immunotherapy, radiation therapy, and photothermal therapy. Graphene oxide (GO) has emerged as a promising material for both drug delivery and thermal-based tumor destruction. However, its clinical application remains limited due to challenges in dispersibility and large-scale production. To overcome these limitations, Professor Eijiro Miyako and his research team from the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) have developed a novel GO nanocomposite enhanced with bacterial components. The study highlights how bacterial properties improve GO's effectiveness in cancer therapy. Certain bacteria naturally stimulate immune responses and enhance dispersibility of GO due to their amphiphilic cellular components.

Researchers from Portugal's International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory and Italy's Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia have addressed the need for noninvasive, ultrasensitive alternatives to currently available glucose monitoring sensors used for continuous monitoring of diseases like Diabetes Mellitus and presented electrolyte-gated graphene field-effect transistors functionalized with glucose oxidase. The scientists developed an optimized fabrication process that integrates a 32-transistor matrix within a miniaturized 1000 μm2 footprint, ensuring high device uniformity while enabling detection in 40 μL analyte volume. A comprehensive suite of techniques (including Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and water contact angle measurements) reveals the stepwise evolution of graphene chemistry and surface properties leading to the controlled immobilization of glucose oxidase. The team's findings demonstrate p-type doping and tensile strain in the graphene channel across the nanomolar–millimolar glucose concentration range. The enzyme-catalyzed oxidation of glucose produces hydrogen peroxide in close proximity to the graphene channel, inducing a systematic shift in the Dirac point voltage toward more positive values. Under these conditions, the biosensor achieved an attomolar limit of detection and a sensitivity of 10.6 mV/decade, outperforming previously reported glucose sensors. 

Researchers from Peking University, Beijing Graphene Institute, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of Manchester have developed a new method to integrate 2D semiconductors with dielectric materials. Their approach involves the epitaxial growth of an ultra-thin dielectric film on a graphene-covered copper surface, which subsequently enables its transfer onto various substrates with minimal defects. The new method addresses the challenges in integrating 2D materials(like graphene) into microelectronic devices. As conventional transfer methods that use polymer supports often introduce chemical contamination, various mechanical issues and interfacial defects, the team set out to develop a wafer-scale process that overcomes these issues, by preserving graphene's intrinsic properties and ensuring a clean, well-controlled interface during transfer and encapsulation.
