Researchers from Rice University and US Army Engineer Research and Development Center have developed an innovative solution to a pressing environmental challenge: removing and destroying per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly called “forever chemicals”. The team's method not only eliminates PFAS from water systems but also transforms waste into graphenePFAS are synthetic compounds found in various consumer products, valued for their heat, water and oil resistance. However, their chemical stability has made them persistent in the environment, contaminating water supplies and posing significant health risks, including cancer and immune system disruptions. Traditional methods of PFAS disposal are costly, energy-intensive and often generate secondary pollutants, prompting the need for innovative solutions that are more efficient and environmentally friendly.

Lyten has filed a patent for a new cement and concrete mix that uses three-dimensional graphene (3DG) carbon materials to enhance performance and reduce reliance on traditional Portland cement.The international patent application was filed on 7 September 2024 and published on 13 March 2025, making the details available to the public. It covers cement compositions that include 0.05% to 2% by weight of 3DG carbons, along with ordinary Portland cement and up to 70% supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) such as metakaolin, limestone, or gypsum.

Researchers from George Mason University, National Institute for Materials Science in Tsukuba, Japan, National Institute of Standards and Technology and Brown University have developed a method based on thermopower to detect fractional quantum Hall states of matter. Fractional quantum hall (FQH) effect is a rare state of matter that could lead to the development of topological quantum computers, which are believed to be more stable against errors than current quantum computers. Plus, FQH may also facilitate the creation of new quantum materials and applications. However, detecting and studying FQH in detail has been very challenging using the existing methods, which involve measuring a material’s ability to resist electric current flow. In this recent work, the team addressed this challenge using an entirely different approach. Instead of relying on electrical resistivity, the researchers tried a different method based on thermopower — a property where a material generates a small voltage when it is heated in a way that its one side is hot, and the other remains cool.

Researchers at The University of Manchester’s National Graphene Institute have introduced a new class of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces capable of dynamically shaping terahertz (THz) and millimeter (mm) waves. This development overcomes long-standing technological barriers and could pave the way for next-generation 6G wireless technologies and non-invasive imaging systems. a) Schematic of the pixel structure, comprising laminated layers including a graphene top electrode, an electrolyte layer, and a back pixel electrode. b) Photograph of the fabricated device consisting of an active-matrix array of 640 × 480 pixels. A binary voltage pattern (VDH, VDL) is produced by a chip-on-glass display driver controlled by an external microcontroller. Image from: Nature Communications The breakthrough centers around an active spatial light modulator, a surface with more than 300,000 sub-wavelength pixels capable of manipulating THz light in both transmission and reflection. Unlike previous modulators, which were limited to small-scale demonstrations, the Manchester team integrated graphene-based THz modulators with large-area thin-film transistor (TFT) arrays, enabling high-speed, programmable control over the amplitude and phase of THz light across expansive areas.

An international team of researchers, including ones from ICFO, MIT, RWTH Aachen University and others, has used terahertz light to explore exotic phenomena within magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene. This approach revealed previously unseen behaviors and provided direct insights into the quantum geometry of electronic wavefunctions —the fundamental framework underlying these phenomena.It has been less than ten years since scientists placed two graphene layers on top of each other, twisted them exactly 1.1º and observed the emergence of exotic phenomena like superconductivity and topological phases of matter. The unlocked new physics attracted great attention among the community, and the whole system soon became known as “magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene”. This magic-angle has been extensively studied ever since with most efforts focused on understanding how electron interactions lead to such exotic collective quantum phases. However, electrons at the single-particle level have also been predicted to exhibit intriguing quantum behaviors underscored by the geometry of their wavefunctions – their quantum geometry. Yet, observing these behaviors has proven challenging.

Newly published research demonstrates a novel way of generating phonon-polaritons by making electrons collide with crystal lattice structures. The discovery paves the way for cheaper, smaller long-wave infrared light sources and more efficient device cooling.

Scientists are investigating how structures made from several layers of graphene stack up in terms of their fundamental physics and their potential as reconfigurable semiconductors for advanced electronics.

Researchers show that precisely layering nano-thin materials creates excitons -- essentially, artificial atoms -- that can act as quantum information bits, or qubits.
