New Graphene Electrode For Supercapacitors
April 5, 2017 | Leave a Comment
Australia’s RMIT University researchers, inspired by the western Swordfern, have invented a new groundbreaking type of supercapacitor electrode. The prototype could be the answer to the storage challenge holding back renewable energy solutions. The new type of electrode could boost the capacity of existing storage technologies by 3000 percent, say researchers. The graphene-based prototype also […]

New Graphene Based Design For Converting Heat to Energy
March 9, 2017 | 2 Comments
Stanford University researchers led by Professor Roger Howe say new material using graphene could reignite the field of thermionic energy conversion, improving the way we produce electricity and reducing the impact the process has on the environment. The concept is based on a satellite-powering technology that was abandoned decades ago that has been reinvented to […]

Superconductivity Shown In Graphene
January 25, 2017 | Leave a Comment
University of Cambridge St John’s College researchers have shown for the first time the intrinsic ability of graphene to superconduct (or carry an electrical current with no resistance). These results further widen the potential of graphene as a material that could be used in fields such as energy storage, high-speed computing, and molecular electronics. The […]

An All New Solar Cell Chip
November 16, 2016 | Leave a Comment
The world’s newest and thinnest photodetector, a device that converts light into an electric current, has been developed. With a thickness of just 1.3 nanometers – 10 times smaller than the current standard silicon diodes, the device could be used in the Internet of Things, smart devices, wearable electronics and photoelectronics. This nearly two dimensional […]
