Researchers from Yale University, California Institute of Technology, City University of New York, Kansas State University and ETH Zurich have reported a new way of generating long-wave infrared and terahertz waves. The work could pave the way towards cheaper, smaller long-wave infrared light sources and more efficient device cooling.Phonon-polaritons are a unique type of electromagnetic wave that occurs when light interacts with vibrations in a material's crystal lattice structure. These phonon-polariton waves exhibit several unique characteristics. For example, they can concentrate the energy of long-wavelength infrared light into extremely small volumes, even down to tens of nanometers, as well as effectively move heat away from the source. This makes phonon-polaritons ideal for high-tech applications like sub-wavelength imaging, molecular sensors, and heat management within electronics. However, research on phonon-polariton waves has thus far mainly focused on fundamental studies in laboratory settings, with practical device applications remaining largely unexplored.

British climate tech startup Levidian has announced a strategic collaboration with Swedish deep-tech startup Graphmatech to co-develop new graphene-based polymer solutions for the hydrogen sector and other high-growth industries.The companies aim to accelerate the market adoption of graphene, bringing together Levidian's graphene production capability with Graphmatech's modular dispersion technology to manufacture high-performance polymer-graphene composites for industrial applications. Use cases for these composites include pipelines and hydrogen pressure vessels where graphene has been shown to reduce hydrogen gas leakage by up to 83%.

HydroGraph Clean Power, a manufacturer of high-purity graphene, and NEI Corporation, a leader in battery materials and testing services, announced the launch of NANOMYTE® FGA-1AD and NANOMYTE® FGA-1ND, a new line of advanced graphene dispersions. These innovative dispersions, a result of the companies’ strategic collaboration, integrate seamlessly into existing electrode slurries, replacing or supplementing traditional conductive carbons to enhance electrode performance. The outcome is improved electrical conductivity, enabling the development of better electrodes and expanding possibilities for high-performance energy storage solutions.

First Graphene has provided an update on its pathway to commercialization of graphene in the global cement and concrete industry.  Pallets of PureGRAPH-CEM ahead of shipping to UK. Image by FGRMore than three tonnes of First Graphene’s dedicated PureGRAPH-CEM® product has arrived in the United Kingdom ahead of the next phase of trials with the nation’s largest cement producer, Breedon Group. The project will see the Company’s graphene used in a permanent real-world environment, which forms part of a major road infrastructure project in the UK. The graphene enhanced concrete is scheduled to be produced and poured in May.

The UK’s University of Cambridge and University of Southampton have been named as participants in the PIXEurope consortium, a collaboration between European research organizations that is developing and manufacturing prototypes of their products based on photonic chips. The consortium is supported by €380 million in total funding.The Cambridge Graphene Centre and Cornerstone Photonics Innovation Centre at the University of Southampton will partner with members from across Europe to host a pilot line, coordinated by Spain’s Institute of Photonic Sciences, combining state-of-the-art equipment and expertise from 20 research organizations across 11 countries. The PIXEurope pilot line aims to encourage the adoption of cutting-edge photonic technologies across more industries to boost their efficiency.

Researchers from Lithuania's Center for Physical Sciences and Technology and Kaunas University of Technology have reported a novel hybrid magnetic sensor that combines the unique properties of manganite and graphene to measure both the magnitude and direction of a magnetic field.  The schematic drawing of the hybrid sensor. Image from: Scientific ReportsThe sensor consists of a nanostructured manganite film to detect the magnetic field strength and a graphene layer to determine the angle between the magnetic field and the sensor plane. This dual sensor approach increases sensitivity over a wide range of magnetic field strengths and provides directional information, making it ideal for applications such as object positioning and navigation. 

California-based turquoise hydrogen start-up Graphitic Energy has commissioned a pilot methane pyrolysis plant at the Southwest Research Institute (SWRI) in San Antonio, Texas. The plant is expected to convert natural gas into hydrogen and graphene through the end of 2025.The plant will reportedly be able to produce “several hundred” kilograms of hydrogen and up to 1,000kg of graphene per day during 24/7 operations. The firm’s process operates at less than 800ºC and uses a fluidized bed to improve heat transfer and limit the size of the reactor. The company said the technology can be “sited anywhere natural gas or LNG are available, without the need to source renewable electricity or perform geological CO2 sequestration”. It claims that the process can scale to produce 100,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year in a single process train.

The Garland Company, Inc., a Garland Industries company manufacturing and distributing high-performance solutions for the commercial building envelope based in Cleveland, Ohio, has announced the newest addition to its StressPly family of modified bitumen roofing membranes: StressPlyⓇ Max. This patent pending membrane is formulated for maximum strength, superior fire resistance, and exceptional weathering.The StressPly Max membrane features a dual polyester and fiberglass reinforcement, delivering a high-tensile value further enhanced by a graphene modified bitumen. The incorporation of graphene into the asphaltic compound provides superior strength, with an internal reinforcement exceeding one thousand pounds.

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.
