Sparc Technologies says its ecosparc graphene additive is now being produced at a fully commissioned facility in Australia, giving the company commercial quantities for coatings trials and near-term customer opportunities. The milestone is a practical step toward broader industrial use of graphene-based anti-corrosion coatings.
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.
Black Swan Graphene says it has completed a capacity expansion at its Consett, United Kingdom facility, lifting annual output beyond 140 tonnes and marking a notable scale-up for one of the sector’s more commercially oriented graphene producers.
First Graphene has completed a 600-tonne batch of graphene-enhanced cement in the UK, setting up trials in roof tiles and infrastructure work that will test whether the additive can move further into commercial construction use.
Penn State researchers have filed a patent on a new all-polymer nanocomposite capacitor that could store four times more energy and operate at higher temperatures, moving the materials breakthrough closer to market.
Researchers in India and Japan say they have observed a rare Dirac fluid in ultraclean graphene, where heat and electrical transport stop tracking each other the way standard metal physics predicts.
