Reservoirs in mosaic like graphene make waves in microfluidics
Engineering a mosaic-like graphene morphology, researchers found wrinkles in the structure that could open the gate to a new wave of microfluidics technologies.

New technique to clean heterostructures paves the way to scalability
Removing impurities between layered materials using heat and pressure increases charge carrier mobility and brings scalable methods closer to becoming a reality.

Graphene connects the biomedical industry
Graphene Connect & Health Investment Forum brings together experts in graphene, investors and business leaders from the healthcare and medical communities, bridging valuable connections between academia and industry.

Graphene based NO2 detectors could be a breath of fresh air for polluted urban centres
Cheap and efficient NO₂ sensors measure changes in graphene’s electrical resistance to record pollutant levels – and they could be strung together to create real-time pollution maps of cities.

Graphene and layered materials boost silicon technologies
In a review published in Nature, Graphene Flagship researchers at ICFO, Spain and IMEC, Belgium, report on the current state, challenges, and opportunities of graphene and related material integration in silicon technologies.

Wearable Technology Seeks New Materials to Enhance Functionalities
Dubbed as the 'year of wearables', 2014 witnessed a surge in wearable technology for health applications and, since then, the rate at which products are released has not slowed down.
