Graphene rippling is the formation of nanoscale waves, wrinkles, and corrugations in a graphene sheet. Those shape changes are not just a curiosity: they can alter how graphene conducts heat and electricity, how it interacts with other materials, and whether it performs consistently in sensors, coatings, and electronics.
Premier Graphene says it has secured its first defense contract in Mexico, marking a commercialization step for its graphene-based protective-wear technologies and opening a route into a tightly regulated military supply chain.
First Graphene said on April 28, 2026 that it agreed to buy the manufacturing, intellectual property and development assets of Ionic Industries and Imagine Intelligent Materials, a move aimed at giving it immediate access to revenue-generating graphene coatings formulations for geotextiles and environmental infrastructure.
A Monash-led team has reported a graphene-based membrane that conducts both protons and electrons, a rare combination that could matter for hydrogen purification and next-generation energy devices.
Graphene Manufacturing Group appointed a former Rio Tinto technical executive on April 22, 2026, and said its Gen 2.0 graphene plant in Queensland remains on track for completion by the end of June.
Terra Innovatum and Mersen said they successfully manufactured and validated a graphite reactor core prototype for the SOLO micro-reactor, marking a manufacturing readiness step tied to first deployment targeted for 2027.
