HydroGraph Clean Power has opened a new Austin headquarters, giving the graphene manufacturer a U.S. base for commercial and manufacturing expansion as it advances plans for a future facility that it says could support up to 350 tons of annual output.
DARPA has opened a market-research inquiry into graphene production and manufacturing, asking whether the material can be made at scale for load-bearing aerospace structures and what technical barriers still stand in the way.
Researchers have reported a laser powder bed fusion aluminum alloy that reaches 582 MPa tensile strength at room temperature and retains 114 MPa strength with exceptional creep resistance at 400 C, thanks to embedded heat-resistant nanophases formed during printing.
Scientists reported a rapid mathematical method that can map complex phase diagrams in as little as a day, a development that could speed the search for advanced materials with unusual crystal structures.
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.
Researchers at Drexel University say they have developed a scalable method for turning MXene, a conductive 2D nanomaterial, into nanoscrolls that could improve ion transport in batteries, sensors and wearable devices. The work, reported March 31, 2026, in Advanced Materials, also suggests a route to more accessible, room-temperature processing of flexible conductive films.
