Graphene Latest News and Updates
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.
SAIC said on April 3, 2026, that it will equip production vehicles with semi-solid-state battery packs this year, marking a concrete move for next-generation battery materials from demonstration programs into factory-backed deployment.
A Nature Communications study published April 15 reports an additively manufactured aluminum alloy that pairs strength, ductility and heat resistance — a combination long sought for lightweight parts that must survive elevated temperatures.
Scientists have reported a new way to visualize the moiré potential in rhombohedral graphene superlattices, offering a clearer look at one of the most closely watched classes of advanced materials. The April 2026 Nature Materials result is a measurement advance, not a commercial launch, but it could help speed device design in atom-thin electronics.
Black Swan Graphene says its Consett, UK facility has expanded above 140 tonnes of annual graphene nanoplatelet capacity after commissioning a large-scale production system, marking a significant increase in its industrial manufacturing base.
