Graphene News

The orbital angular momentum of electrons has long been considered a minor physical phenomenon, suppressed in most crystals and largely overlooked. Scientists have now discovered that in certain materials it is not only preserved but can even be actively controlled. This is due to a property of the crystal structure called chirality, which also influences many other processes in nature. The discovery has the potential to lead to a new class of electronic components capable of transmitting information with exceptional robustness and energy efficiency.

Researchers at the University of Arizona, California Institute of Technology and Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich have reported the generation of light-induced quantum tunnelling currents in graphene phototransistors by ultrafast laser pulses in an ambient environment. The team demonstrated a way to manipulate electrons in graphene using pulses of light that last less than a trillionth of a second. By leveraging a quantum effect known as tunneling, they recorded electrons bypassing a physical barrier almost instantaneously.

Researchers from Japan's Keio University and Waseda University explain that graphene has substantial potential for on-chip nanoscale light sources, due to its small size, high brightness and fast-modulating blackbody radiation sources, but a known problem is the need for transfer processes when mechanically exfoliated or chemical vapor deposited graphene are used, resulting in low productivity and degradation of graphene quality. To address this issue, the team fabricated a graphene-based thermal light emitter by using an etching-precipitation method that does not require the transfer process. Infrared and visible light emission was observed from the central constricted area, forming a hot spot. Raman measurements confirmed that defect healing occurred in the central hot spot of graphene due to the annealing effect caused by Joule heating. The team also demonstrated that the device has long-term luminescence stability. 

Archer Materials, a semiconductor company advancing the quantum technology and medical diagnostics industries, has signed an agreement with UK graphene-based electronics company Paragraf to advance development of Archer’s Biochip potassium ion sensor for testing of chronic kidney disease. The agreement will be in two stages, with each stage of work to be carried out over three months at a total estimated cost of AU$450,000 or £222,000.The partnership will accelerate technical progress towards meeting the blood potassium sensing target product profile (TPP) using a gFET. Work performed by Paragraf with Archer will complement the activities ongoing in Sydney.

Zentek has completed the sale of its property that houses its corporate office and laboratory space.Under the terms of the agreement, the Buyer paid Zentek an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million. The Company will lease back the Property from the Buyer until January 31, 2026, allowing for a transition period and uninterrupted operations. 

PC maker Acer has released multiple announcements about new and upcoming AI-powered laptops, desktops, earbuds, and smart rings. Among these, the Company unveiled a slim Predator Triton 14 AI gaming laptop which Acer called 'the industry's first laptop with graphene thermal interface materials (TIM) in the CPU to help keep it cool'. A similarly appointed laptop, the Predator Helios Neo 14 AI will also be available, along with a Predator Orion 3000 gaming desktop that houses a INtel Core Ultra 7 processor and the same GPU as the two laptops. The Predator Triton 14 AI is aimed at creators, professionals, and gamers who need substantial power in a lightweight build. What is known about the graphene thermal interface material on the CPU is that it is said to deliver 14.5% better heat dissipation compared to standard thermal grease. Dual 6th Gen AeroBlade metal fans and a vapor chamber further improve cooling.

Zinc-ion batteries based on water-based electrolytes are inherently safe, environmentally friendly, and economically viable. They also mitigate fire risks and thermal runaway issues associated with their lithium-based counterparts, which makes them lucrative for grid-scale energy storage. Furthermore, zinc has high capacity, low cost, ample abundance, and low toxicity. Unfortunately, current collectors utilized in zinc-ion batteries, such as graphite foil, are difficult to scale up and suffer from relatively poor mechanical properties, limiting their industrial use. Image credit: Dongguk University, Republic of KoreaIn a new study, a team of researchers from the Republic of Korea, led by Associate Professor Geon-Hyoung An at the Department of Energy and Materials Engineering at Dongguk University, has proposed graphene-coated stainless steel foil as a novel alternative current collector. 

NanoXplore has reported its financial results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2025. Key financial highlights for Q3-2025 include total revenues of CAD$30,446,165 (around USD$21,770,000) compared to CAD$33,867,747 (about USD$24,200,000) last year, representing a 10% decrease; Loss of CAD$1,747,714 (around USD$1,250,000) compared to CAD$3,089,430 (around USD$2,209,000) last year.In addition, the total long-term debt stands at CAD$4,940,740 (about USD$3.533.000) as of March 31, 2025, down by CAD$1,405,763 (USD$1,005,000) compared to June 30, 2024.

Archer Materials, a semiconductor company advancing the quantum technology and medical diagnostics industries, has extended its relationship with Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) to build on critical milestone work for qubit demonstration, as part of Archer’s quantum technology program. The cost of the six month extension is estimated at around A$279,000 or £136,000.Work already completed with QMUL has reportedly been a key part of Archer’s development program. The work being done with QMUL, combined withArcher’s demonstration of coupling of spins to superconducting resonator micro-devices, provides the first building blocks for both readout and control of the electron spins in a qubit. Archer has introduced the CQ chip and in working with QMUL, it is improving the functionality of this project by using graphene to make electrical contact with the carbon nanosphere spin material.

Carbyne, a one-dimensional chain of carbon atoms, is incredibly strong for being so thin, making it an intriguing possibility for use in next-generation electronics, but its extreme instability made it nearly impossible to produce at all, let alone produce enough of it for advanced studies. Now, an international team of researchers may have a solution.

The rules about magnetic order may need to be rewritten. An international team of researchers found that it was possible to turn a non-magnetic material into a magnetic material by slicing it into thin films.

Graphene is a 'miracle material': mechanically extremely strong and electrically highly conductive, ideal for related applications. Using a unique method physicists have now made graphene drastically more stretchable by rippling it like an accordion. This paves the way for new applications in which certain stretchability is required (e.g. wearable electronics).
