Aeluma Lands More Than $4 Million to Scale Quantum Materials and Lasers
Aeluma has secured more than $4 million in U.S. government contracts to accelerate its heterogeneous integration platform for quantum and high-speed datacom applications, a funding boost that arrives as the company expands manufacturing partnerships and pushes its photonics technology toward scale.
Paragraf turns graphene sensing into a ready-to-use lab kit as it pushes biosensor commercialization
Paragraf has launched a GFET Discovery Kit that packages its graphene molecular sensing hardware into a ready-to-run setup, a practical step aimed at researchers who want to test graphene biosensing without assembling the electronics themselves.
GMG clears final AU$1.4 million to push new graphene plant toward mid-2026 startup
Graphene Manufacturing Group says it has approved the final AU$1.4 million needed to complete its second-generation graphene manufacturing plant, keeping the project on track for a mid-2026 startup.
MXene method delivers 160-fold conductivity jump in a tightly ordered 2D material
Researchers reported a new MXene synthesis route that produced a highly ordered, chlorine-terminated 2D material with conductivity 160 times higher than conventionally made versions, a step that could broaden the material’s use in electronics, shielding and energy devices.
Penn State graphene sensors cut liquid drift as research pushes toward commercial use
Penn State researchers have reported a graphene-based field-effect transistor design that delivers up to 20 times more sensitivity and up to 15 times less signal drift in liquids, a technical advance aimed at making graphene sensors more usable in biosensing and environmental monitoring.
Nature review spotlights a one-year-stable route to atom-thin bismuth, lead and tin metals
A Nature Reviews Physics review published April 9, 2026 says van der Waals squeezing has enabled atom-thin bismuth, indium, tin, lead and gallium metals that remain stable for at least a year, a development that could expand two-dimensional electronics and quantum transport research.
