A new study in Nature Communications reports gate-controlled inversion of spin signals in graphene superlattices, a result that adds a practical control knob to graphene spintronics research and could inform future low-power device designs.
Researchers at the University of Arkansas and the University of Michigan say they have demonstrated the first ultra-low-power temperature sensor powered by graphene-based solar cells, a battery-free design that could reduce maintenance in remote monitoring and wearable devices.
Black Swan Graphene says its expanded Consett, United Kingdom facility is now operating at industrial scale, with annual output capacity lifted to more than 140 tonnes. The company’s latest commissioning step marks a concrete shift from pilot production toward repeatable manufacturing for commercial graphene products.
Graphene Manufacturing Group has approved the final AU$1.4 million needed to complete its Gen 2.0 graphene plant in Brisbane, a move that keeps the 10-ton-per-year facility on track for mid-2026 commissioning.
WEG has launched a powder coating with low-temperature curing technology designed for plastics, composites and other heat-sensitive substrates, a move that could help industrial coaters lower oven temperatures and energy use while expanding powder coating to more demanding applications.
MIT researchers reported a light-activated gel that could advance ionotronics, a field that uses ions to transfer data instead of conventional electrical circuits. The work, published on April 16, 2026, is aimed at materials that can better bridge electronics and biological tissue.
