What Is Graphene Rippling? A Practical Guide to the Material’s Hidden Waviness
Graphene rippling is the formation of nanoscale waves, wrinkles, and corrugations in a graphene sheet. Those shape changes are not just a curiosity: they can alter how graphene conducts heat and electricity, how it interacts with other materials, and whether it performs consistently in sensors, coatings, and electronics.
Which companies produce graphene? A practical guide to the main suppliers and what they actually make
Several companies now produce graphene, but the category is broader than it looks. Some suppliers make graphene powders, some sell graphene oxide, and others provide ready-to-use formulations for coatings, composites, electronics, and research.
How energy storage works: the simple explanation behind batteries, grids and backup power
Energy storage takes electricity from a source, converts it into a storable form, and returns it later when needed. Here’s how the process works, where it is used, and what limits it in practice.
High-density energy storage systems are batteries and long-duration storage designs built to hold more energy in less space
High-density energy storage systems are storage technologies designed to pack more usable energy into less space or weight. Here is what that means in practice, where these systems are used, and the trade-offs that matter most.
Premier Graphene wins first Mexican defense contract as graphene materials move into supply chain
Premier Graphene says it has secured its first defense contract in Mexico, marking a commercialization step for its graphene-based protective-wear technologies and opening a route into a tightly regulated military supply chain.
GMG says its graphene aluminium-ion battery now stores twice as much energy in latest test update
Graphene Manufacturing Group said on April 15, 2026, that its graphene aluminium-ion battery has reached 49 Wh/kg in a six-minute charging test, doubling the result it reported in December 2025 as it works toward customer testing and eventual commercial production.
First Graphene buys coatings assets to push graphene formulations into geotextiles
First Graphene said on April 28, 2026 that it agreed to buy the manufacturing, intellectual property and development assets of Ionic Industries and Imagine Intelligent Materials, a move aimed at giving it immediate access to revenue-generating graphene coatings formulations for geotextiles and environmental infrastructure.
Graphene membrane opens new path for hydrogen purification in Monash-led study
A Monash-led team has reported a graphene-based membrane that conducts both protons and electrons, a rare combination that could matter for hydrogen purification and next-generation energy devices.
Nature study pushes metalenses toward industrial production with 300-per-second roll-to-roll output
