Concrete has quietly become one of the planet’s biggest climate problems, yet it remains the backbone of modern cities and infrastructure. A new class of graphene concrete is starting to change that ...

Graphene has drawn attention as a scientific curiosity owing to its record conductivities, strength and thermal properties. But now, it's starting to make its way into a number of real-world ...

Graphene has the potential to spur advances in a variety of sectors, from transport to medicine to electronics. Unfortunately, the high cost of graphene production has slowed commercialization.

This reminds us of how, in the 1880s, Edison observed current flowing in one direction through a test light bulb that ...

Illustration shows how applying a simple stretch to a specifically shaped sheet of graphene creates a stable and controllable pseudomagnetic field. Illustration shows how applying a simple stretch to ...

More than a century before graphene was isolated in a modern lab, Thomas Edison may have been unknowingly making the wonder ...

In 1874, the Scottish-American industrialist Andrew Carnegie completed the mile-long Eads Bridge, made of steel and crossing the River Mississippi into St. Louis. At the time, nobody believed that ...

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have created the world’s first functional semiconductor made from graphene, a single sheet of carbon atoms held together by the strongest bonds known ...
