Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have developed a generative machine-learning workflow that learns the statistical fingerprints of damaged tungsten and produces synthetic microstructures for fusion-material testing. The April 15 study could reduce the time and cost of assessing plasma-facing components for future reactors.
A March 27 Nature Communications paper is putting a high-profile graphene thermal conductivity claim under the microscope, arguing that the reported performance was likely overstated and that the experimental setup may have distorted the result. The dispute matters because thermal management remains one of graphene’s most commercially important promises.
Graphene Manufacturing Group has accepted the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s consent notice conditions for THERMAL-XR ENHANCE, a graphene coating designed for HVAC systems, clearing a key regulatory hurdle for commercial sales in the United States.
Graphene and the “666” Carbon Code: 6 Protons, 6 Neutrons, 6 Electrons Online discussions have recently revived claims that graphene contains a mysterious “666 carbon code,” pointing to the atomic structure of carbon. Scientists say the numbers come from basic chemistry: the most common form of carbon, carbon-12, contains six protons, six neutrons, and six electrons. Researchers note that graphene [...]
Nature Materials on April 16, 2026 highlighted ultrathin van der Waals metal oxyhalides as robust hard masks for three-dimensional semiconductor processing, a materials advance aimed at sharper nanopatterning and more resilient plasma etching.
Henkel has launched a new anti-fingerprint coating portfolio for automotive displays that avoids PFAS and fluorine ingredients, pitching the products as a production-ready answer to stricter regulations and tougher durability demands.
