Graphene Electronic Tattoo Sensors can be applied to the skin with water
Researchers have designed a graphene-based tattoo that can be directly laminated onto the skin with water, similar to a temporary tattoo. But unlike a standard temporary tattoo, this new Graphene Electronic Tattoo…
Facts about Graphene
What is Graphene? Graphene is amazing. It’s the strongest material in the world. It’s completely flexible, and it’s more conductive than copper. Graphene is a two-dimensional honeycomb arrangement of carbon atoms that…
MIT creates Transparent, flexible solar cells using Graphene
Imagine a future in which solar cells are all around us — on windows and walls, cell phones, laptops, and more. A new flexible, transparent solar cell developed at MIT is bringing…
MIT’s new Graphene-based Dialysis membrane works 10 times faster
Dialysis, in the most general sense, is the process by which molecules filter out of one solution, by diffusing through a membrane, into a more dilute solution. Outside of hemodialysis, which removes…
