Graphene Becoming Increasingly Attractive for Tactile Sensing
For a fairly long time now, scientists have been chasing the enticing possibility of mimicking human skin, because of the enormous potential it presents to the fields of robotics, prosthesis, haptics, the tactile Internet of Things, and for wearable devices. Up until now, this pursuit has been frustrated by the failure to develop materials and
Grolltex Opens Manufacturing Facility for ‘Graphene Accelerator’ Material hexagonal Boron Nitride
San Diego based graphene and 2D materials producer Grolltex has completed qualification, and released for production, the largest commercial manufacturing facility in North America for graphene complement material, single layer ‘hexagonal Boron Nitride’ (or hBN). The company began shipping the new material to pre-qualified customers in May and is now selling large area mono layer
Graphene and Hexagonal Boron Nitride: A Match Made in 2D Heaven
Within the last decade or so, two-dimensional materials have been the source of a great deal of excitement, because of their potential applications in a number of high-tech industries. Graphene is a substance which has the thickness of a single atom, and its unique structure is partly responsible for some of the extraordinary properties it
The Need for 2D Material Standards (and what Grolltex is doing about it)
The emerging industries for graphene and hexagonal boron nitride have reached the stage where it has become critical for appropriate standards to be agreed upon. A few companies have been marketing questionable products, claiming to be true graphene. It has become obvious that there is a need to protect corporate consumers as well as legitimate
Incredible Graphene Breakthrough will lead to Electronic Devices of the Future
New discoveries about the amazing properties of the miracle material known as graphene continue to emerge, as researchers explore and learn more about what it can do. The most recent dazzling discovery is that graphene can be used to compress light down to the thickness of a single atom. While the practical significance of this
