Graphene Square Completes Its Graphene Mass-Production Plant in Korea
Graphene Square has finished building a 6,308 ㎡ graphene film mass‑production plant in Pohang, Korea, marking the country’s first continuous large‑area graphene manufacturing line. The project, backed by 42 billion won of regional investment and subsequent 19 billion won Series B and 16 billion won pre‑IPO funding, aims to cut unit costs to roughly one‑sixth of pilot‑stage levels. Once fully operational, the facility targets an annual output of 300,000 ㎡, with commercial shipments expected between late 2026 and early 2027. CEO Hong Byung‑hee envisions initial integration of graphene films into heating, cooling and thermal‑dissipation products.
Researchers Develop Graphene Oxide Hybrid Electrodes for Real-Time Dopamine Monitoring
Researchers at SKKU, HKUST and Jeonbuk University unveiled SIDNEY, a graphene‑oxide‑wrapped hybrid electrode that enables real‑time, label‑free dopamine detection in living neurons and brain organoids. The nanostructured platform combines gold nanopillars with a thin graphene‑oxide coating, achieving a detection limit...
A New Superconductor Breaks Rules Physicists Thought Were Fixed
Researchers at IFW Dresden and the ct.qmat cluster have identified platinum‑bismuth‑two (PtBi₂) as a genuine topological superconductor, where only the top and bottom surfaces become superconducting while the bulk remains metallic. The material exhibits an unprecedented six‑fold symmetric electron‑pairing pattern...
This Crystal Doesn’t Melt Like Ice: Physicists Capture a Strange New Phase
Physicists at the University of Vienna directly observed the elusive hexatic phase in an atomically thin silver iodide crystal, confirming that covalent two‑dimensional materials can melt via an intermediate state. By sandwiching the crystal between graphene layers and heating it...
The Sixth Element Teams up with Logitech, Corsair on Graphene-Enhanced Headphones
The Sixth Element (Changzhou) Materials Technology has entered supply agreements with Logitech and Corsair to provide graphene components for over‑ear headphones, building on Logitech’s existing graphene‑driver gaming headset. The company also signed a memorandum of understanding with South Korea’s Graphene...
Atomic-Scale Randomness in Graphene Enables Hardware-Level Security Keys
Researchers at UIC, Wayne State and Northwestern have turned random atomic defects in graphene transistors into a physical unclonable function (PUF) for hardware security. Each transistor emits a unique radio signature that encodes its microscopic irregularities, creating a one‑of‑a‑kind cryptographic...
Paragraf Announces Production of First 6-Inch Graphene Wafer at Huntingdon Facility
Paragraf announced the production of its first 6‑inch graphene wafer at the newly opened Huntingdon facility, using a proprietary process that grows graphene directly on silicon substrates. This marks the first demonstration of graphene field‑effect transistors (GFETs) on silicon at...
GMG Gains Key U.S EPA Approval for THERMAL-XR ENHANCE Graphene Coating
Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) announced that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has issued consent notice approval conditions for its THERMAL‑XR® ENHANCE graphene coating under the Pre‑Manufacture Notice process. This regulatory clearance removes a key barrier to selling the product in...
