Graphene Oxide membranes could reduce paper industry energy costs
The U.S. pulp and paper industry uses large quantities of water to produce cellulose pulp from trees. The water leaving the pulping process contains a number of organic byproducts and inorganic chemicals….
Graphene enhanced heat pipes can efficiently cool power electronics
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have found that graphene-based heat pipes can help solve the problems of cooling electronics and power systems used in avionics, data centres, and other power…
Staying ahead of the curve with 3D curved graphene
A team of researchers has amplified 3D graphene’s electrical properties by controlling its curvature. Their research showed the conservation and the degradation of the ultra-low dissipative transport of Dirac electrons on the…
Scientists achieved 90% efficiency converting light energy into surface waves on graphene
Physicists from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) and Vladimir State University, Russia, have achieved a nearly 90% efficiency converting light energy into surface waves on graphene. They relied on a…
