SPIE Europe-Sponsored Workshop on Transitioning Graphene-Based Photonics from Research to Commercialization

A SPIE Europe sponsored workshop will be led by Frank Koppens of ICFO (Institut de Ciències Fotòniques, Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology) and Nathalie Vermeulen of B-PHOT (Brussels Photonics Team, Vrije Universiteit Brussel) on April 5, 2016, in Brussels. The workshop will discuss the transition of graphene-based photonics technology from the research stage through to the commercialization stage.

Manchester University Scientists Observe Self-Rotating Graphene

The question at the University of Manchester regarding interaction in two-dimensional (2D) materials is whether self-rotation occurs in heterostructures if various crystals are clubbed together, such as graphene on boron nitride. It was observed that perfect stacking between boron nitride and graphene occurs, and when the heterostructural layers are disturbed, the crystals undergo self-rotation and retain the ideal configuration. This effect was known at the nanoscale, but it was not seen on larger scales until the recent findings, published in Nature Communications.

Innovative Method for Making Uniform, Highly Active Gold Nanoparticle Catalysts for Fuel Cells

The successful future of fuel cells relies on improving the performance of the catalysts they use. Gold nanoparticles have been cited as an ideal solution, but creating a uniform, useful catalyst has proven elusive. However, a team of researchers at Kyushu University's International Institute for Carbon-Neutral Energy Research (I2CNER) devised a method for using a new type of catalyst support.

Researchers Create Complex 3D Structure Made of Graphene Aerogel

Ever since its discovery in 2004 graphene has been considered a wonder material, and researchers have great expectations for it. The material is 300 times stronger than steel, and a million times thinner than a human hair. It is also the world’s best conductor of electricity and heat. These features can positively impact many applications, such as making more powerful batteries, more efficient solar panels, and faster computers. Although, it is tough to manipulate graphene beyond it's two-dimensional form.

Graphene Oxide Could Help Fight Hospital-Acquired Infections

Recent research on graphene oxide may enhance our ability to fight infections acquired from hospitals and other places. Researchers from the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Rome are analyzing graphene oxide in the hope of successfully developing bacteria-killing medical devices and catheters in the near future. Bacteria can be killed by coating all surgical equipment with the carbon-based compounsd. This will result in faster recovery times, reducing the number of post-operative infections, and reducing the requirement for antibiotics.
