Graphene sensor rapidly detects opioid metabolites in wastewater
Developed by researchers at Boston College, Giner Labs and Boston University, the graphene electronic multiplexed sensor (GEMS) platform enables the simultaneous sensing of four different target opioid-derived molecules in waste water samples. Credit: ACS Nano (2022). DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.1c07094 The unique properties of the atom-thick sheet of carbon, known as graphene, enabled a new penny-sized, multiplexed…
Graphene could replace rare metal used in mobile phone screens
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Researchers from Paragraf and Queen Mary University of London demonstrated the successful fabrication of an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) with a monolayer graphene anode, replacing ITO in organic light-emitting diodes. The new study is published in the journal Advanced Optical Materials. Indium is one of the nine rarest elements in the…
Graphene Nanoribbon Breakthrough Could Lead to High-Speed, Low-Power Nanoscale Data Storage

Credit: Felix Fischer/Berkeley Lab Technique Tunes Into Graphene Nanoribbons’ Electronic Potential Ever since graphene – a thin carbon sheet just one-atom thick – was discovered more than 15 years ago, the wonder material became a workhorse in materials science research. From this body of work, other…
