BASF and TSR Group have agreed to cooperate on recycling electric vehicle batteries in Europe, adding dismantling, discharging and black mass processing to an industrial chain built around battery metals recovery.
Researchers in India and Japan say they have observed a rare Dirac fluid in ultraclean graphene, where heat and electrical transport stop tracking each other the way standard metal physics predicts.
Tesla and LG Energy Solution have signed a $4.3 billion battery supply agreement tied to Megapack production in the United States, according to a March 16 Reuters report and a U.S. government statement. The deal highlights how grid-storage demand is pulling more battery manufacturing into domestic supply chains.
Penn State researchers reported that stoichiometric iron telluride is superconducting and that its behavior can be patterned with a moiré interface, opening a sharper route to engineered quantum materials.
Nature Physics published a graphene paper on April 7, 2026 that probes how electrostatic tuning changes the balance of pairing and screening in superconducting twisted bilayer graphene, sharpening one of the field’s central unresolved questions.
Graphene Manufacturing Group has secured U.S. EPA approval to import and sell its THERMAL-XR graphene-based coating in the United States, a regulatory step that allows commercial sales to begin in the country’s large HVAC-R market and broadens the product’s path into other thermal-management applications.
