Graphene is an interesting material, but making enough of the stuff to do something useful can be a little tough. That’s why we’re always on the lookout for new methods, like this electrochemical ...

Researchers have been singing the praises of graphene ever since it was first isolated from graphite back in 2004. That’s not terribly surprising given the unique properties the two-dimensional ...

(Nanowerk News) Natural graphite, used as the precursor for graphene oxide production, is a highly ordered crystalline inorganic material, which is believed to be formed by decay of organic matter. It ...

Hailed as the future’s 2D miracle material, graphene has remarkable applications. Graphene is essentially a one-atom thick graphite layer, made from elemental carbon. Graphene’s unique properties are ...

A University of Washington-led team has discovered that, by stacking a sheet of graphene onto bulk graphite at a small twist angle (top), “exotic” properties present at the graphene-graphite interface ...

The interest in mechanical properties of two-dimensional materials has emerged in light of new device concepts taking advantage of flexing, adhesion and friction. Here we demonstrate an effective ...

The specialty chemical maker Thomas Swan is teaming up with Mason Graphite to make bulk quantities of graphene in Quebec. Mason acquired Swan’s graphene patent and know-how for about $4 million and ...

Researchers have discovered the quantum Hall effect in bulk graphite -- a layered crystal consisting of stacked graphene layers. Researchers at The University of Manchester in the UK, led by Dr Artem ...
