Celebrating 15 years since his successful isolation of graphene, Nobel Laureate Professor Sir Konstantin ‘Kostya’ Novoselov will produce pieces of art using graphene live at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019.
The Graphene Pavilion, organised by the Graphene Flagship, is returning to Mobile World Congress (MWC) on February 25-28, 2019, in Barcelona, Spain. The pavilion, located in NEXTech Hall 8.0 Stand 8.0K31, will showcase the progress of graphene innovation through new prototypes, connecting mobile technologies, wearables, and the internet of things.
Graphene Flagship researchers develop a new sensor that records brain activity at extremely low frequencies and could lead to new treatments for epilepsy
According to the Breaking the Barriers report by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 99% of female chemists evidence a lack of progression for women in the sector. To encourage a more diverse community in this field, the Graphene Flagship is hosting a specialist Women in Graphene career development day, held at the National Graphene Institute, Manchester on 11 and 12 February 2019.
Representatives from the three most ambitious research projects of the European Union, the FET Flagships –Graphene Flagship, Human Brain Project and Quantum Flagship– reunite at the ICT 2018 Conference (Vienna, 4-6 December).
The investment represents a stepping stone towards fulfilling the Graphene Flagship mission: bring graphene and related materials into the market. Bedimensional will now be able to develop new applications of graphene and related materials for energy harvest and storage such as batteries and solar cells.
Graphene enables ultra-wide bandwidth communications coupled with low power consumption, with potential to surpass the needs of 5G, IoT and Industry 4.0.
San Sebastian, Spain, hosts the world’s most important researchers working on graphene and related materials (GRMs). Graphene Week 2018 (10 – 14 September) is co-organised by Graphene Flagship partner CIC nanoGUNE, a leading research centre in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
The Graphene Flagship presents an early success story in translating graphene’s properties to marketable technologies. This autumn sees the commercial launch of a motorcycle helmet that benefits from the inclusion of graphene. Created from a collaboration between Graphene Flagship partner Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) and Italian luxury design company Momodesign.
The ability of graphene to add functionality to common objects has been exploited in a new product on the market: footwear with better thermal properties. Developed by Graphene Flagship partners Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Italy, in collaboration with FADEL, a leading Italian shoe company based in Tuscany.
Researchers from the Graphene Flagship developed a new technique to map the conductivity of graphene on the large scale. This technique uses the non-destructive, fast and highly accurate terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and has exciting ramifications for the graphene production environment.
Graphene Flagship scientists, led by researchers at ICFO - The Institute of Photonic Sciences in Barcelona, Spain, have detected graphene’s out-of-plane heat transfer in van der Waals heterostructures. In their paper published in Nature Nanotechnology they follow this process in real-time. This phenomenon has many implications for optoelectronic devices.
Bringing together 118 academic and industrial partners in 12 research and innovation projects and 1 coordination and support project, the Graphene Flagship initiative will continue to advance Europe’s strategic autonomy in technologies that rely on graphene and other 2D materials. The initiative, which builds on the previous 10-years of the Graphene Flagship, is funded by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme. The 2D-Experimental Pilot Line, addressing the challenges of upscaling 2D material production processes for the semiconductor industry, is another key component of the Graphene Flagship ecosystem.
