A handheld device the size of a deck of cards can detect lung cancer from a one-minute breath test, using graphene sensors that identify disease markers. The technology could catch cancer years earlier, when treatment is seven times less expensive and survival rates are highest.
Physicists just witnessed something they weren't sure was even possible: a superfluid transforming into a supersolid and back again. This breakthrough opens new doors in quantum physics and could reshape our understanding of matter itself.
A groundbreaking partnership is bringing technology to Brazil that transforms methane, a harmful greenhouse gas, into valuable graphene and clean hydrogen. The initiative positions South America as a regional hub for sustainable industrial materials.
Scientists just observed something that's puzzled physicists for 50 years: a superfluid that flows without friction actually freezing into a solid state. Using ultra-thin graphene layers, Columbia and UT Austin researchers captured the first clear evidence of this quantum transformation.
Scientists in South Korea have cracked a major puzzle in electronics, creating pristine graphene patterns smaller than a human hair without damaging the material. This breakthrough could finally bring us bendable screens and ultra-thin medical devices that actually work.
Thomas Edison's 1879 light bulb experiments likely produced graphene, a Nobel Prize-winning material that wouldn't be officially discovered for another 125 years. Rice University scientists recreated his work and found the inventor accidentally created one of the 21st century's most important materials.
European researchers are developing a simple blood test that could detect Alzheimer's disease decades before symptoms appear, using graphene technology to identify warning signs from a single drop of blood. The device could make early screening as routine as checking blood sugar.
