Europe’s biggest science museum showcases the Graphene Flagship
The Graphene Flagship stars in an exhibition at Paris’ Cité des Sciences, the biggest science museum in Europe. The showcase, dedicated to the challenges of research and innovation, will continue until late June 2022.
Layered materials for energy generation and heat pumps
A conversation with graphene researcher Ilaria Pallecchi, coordinator of the Graphene Flagship Partnering Project MELoDICA. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are layered materials that offer alternative benefits in many different applications. A good example is thermoelectricity: the direct and reversible conversion of heat into electricity.
