Plaid Technologies has launched a three-month assessment with Graphene Nanoworks to evaluate graphene-based water-shedding coatings, films and membranes for glass and metal applications, with a focus on commercialization pathways and manufacturing fit.
Graphene Manufacturing Group has appointed Stuart Watson, a former global technical development head at Rio Tinto, as chief production growth officer while saying its second-generation graphene plant in Queensland remains on track for commissioning by the end of June 2026.
Graphene Manufacturing Group said on April 20, 2026, that its graphene-based engine-oil additive G LUBRICANT has secured a 20-year U.S. patent and approval in China, giving the product stronger protection as the company works to commercialize output from its methane-to-graphene process.
Melexis and Graphenea have expanded their graphene biosensor collaboration with a development kit for evaluating integrated GFET-on-CMOS sensors, a practical step toward chip-scale biosensing systems.
Sparc Technologies and HydroGraph have signed a letter of intent to test HydroGraph’s Fractal Graphene in solvent-based protective coatings, after earlier water-based trials showed positive performance benefits. The move opens a path to a definitive commercial supply agreement if ISO 12944 corrosion testing delivers the expected results.
Coherent has introduced Thermadite 800 liquid cold plates for AI accelerator cooling, a move that brings an ultra-thermally conductive material into the fight against rising chip heat in high-density data centers.
