Neoen launches construction plan for France’s largest battery, a 496 MWh grid asset near Paris
Neoen has unveiled plans for a 248 MW/496 MWh battery in Vernou-la-Celle-sur-Seine, east of Paris, that it says will become France’s largest storage asset and the first connected to RTE’s 400 kV transmission network.
IISc grows wafer-scale 2D magnetic films in push toward device-ready nanomaterials
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science have reported a low-defect method for growing centimeter-scale 2D magnetic chromium chloride films, a fabrication step that could help move the material class from lab-scale flakes toward usable electronic and spintronic platforms.
GMG doubles energy density in graphene aluminium-ion battery update ahead of 2026 customer testing
Graphene Manufacturing Group said its six-minute-charging graphene aluminium-ion battery cells doubled energy density to 49 Wh/kg, a development that brings the program closer to customer testing later in 2026 and small commercial production in 2027.
First Graphene turns roof-tile trial into carbon-cutting production case in the UK
First Graphene said a five-month UK production trial with FP McCann made more than 10,000 graphene-enhanced roof tiles while cutting cradle-to-gate emissions by up to 14%, a concrete step toward commercial construction use.
GMG says graphene battery energy density has doubled in push toward 2027 production
Graphene Manufacturing Group said April 15, 2026, that its six-minute-charging graphene aluminum-ion battery cells reached 49 Wh/kg, doubling the company’s December 2025 figure and sharpening the path toward customer testing in 2026 and small commercial production in 2027.
Adisyn says it has made a low-temperature graphene layer for semiconductor interconnects
Adisyn said on April 20, 2026, that it had demonstrated a continuous graphene layer on a 1-centimeter coupon using industrial atomic layer deposition equipment, a result the company says is designed to fit semiconductor manufacturing limits rather than force a new process flow.
