Coherent launches thermally conductive cold plates aimed at hotter AI chips
Coherent has introduced Thermadite 800 liquid cold plates for AI accelerator cooling, a move that brings an ultra-thermally conductive material into the fight against rising chip heat in high-density data centers.
Graphene Manufacturing Group funds final buildout of second-generation graphene plant
Graphene Manufacturing Group has approved another A$1.4 million to complete construction of its second-generation graphene manufacturing plant, a move that brings the company closer to larger-scale graphene output in 2026.
GMG says its graphene-aluminium battery has doubled energy density to 49 Wh/kg
Graphene Manufacturing Group says its graphene-aluminium-ion pouch cells have doubled energy density to 49 Wh/kg while holding to a 6-minute charging claim, a step the company says brings customer testing in 2026 and small commercial production in 2027 into view.
EU backs CamGraPhIC’s graphene photonics line with €211 million for Milan pilot plant
The European Commission has approved €211 million in Italian state aid for CamGraPhIC, clearing the way for a pilot manufacturing line near Milan that would industrialize the company’s graphene-based optical interconnect technology.
Flint puts paper battery cells into production as battery materials shift beyond lithium
Flint says its cellulose-based paper battery technology has entered production, moving the platform from lab-scale development to manufactured cells for pilot deployments and customer programs. The milestone is notable in a battery materials market still dominated by lithium-ion chemistries and the critical minerals they require.
Solidion says graphene-hosted silicon anodes are moving toward commercialization after new patent filings
Solidion Technology said it has filed U.S. patent applications for a graphene-hosted silicon anode design, adding a fresh commercialization marker to the still-early race to move graphene-enabled battery materials beyond the lab. The Dallas-based battery company disclosed the filings in its April 15, 2026 full-year results and said the approach is intended to improve energy density while reducing production risk and cost.
