Graphene-Info: the graphene experts

Monash Health and Monash University have received a $100,000 research grant from the Love Your Sister Foundation, through the Monash Health Foundation, to develop a graphene oxide (GO)-based biosensor for early cancer detection using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). The GO-ctDNA project is a large interdisciplinary collaboration spanning oncology, engineering, nanofabrication and structural biology across Monash Health, Monash University and national research facilities.

“This project represents a perfect convergence of engineering innovation and clinical need,” said Dr. Gwo Yaw Ho, Head of the Cancer Immunology Laboratory within the School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health, Monash University. “If successful, our GO-ctDNA biosensor could revolutionize early cancer diagnostics by offering a simple, non-invasive blood test that detects cancer mutations with unprecedented sensitivity, potentially even before symptoms appear.”

Levidian has announced a second order for a tonne of graphene in the Middle East, to be supplied through its strategic partner Kanoo Energy, part of Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo Company Limited, to a large-scale industrial client in Saudi Arabia.

The order follows Levidian’s first tonne-scale graphene order in the region, and reinforces growing demand for verified graphene at industrial volumes as customers move from testing to procurement. It also reflects a further expansion of graphene evaluation in a new, large- scale industrial setting. MENA continues to be a strategic focus for Levidian. The company is strengthening collaborations with regional partners to accelerate adoption across multiple applications, while progressing plans to scale local graphene production.

A research team led by Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) has discovered that a “supermoiré lattice” graphene arrangement shows superconductivity and causes electrons to behave in unusual, coordinated ways. The findings could help design new kinds of quantum materials with properties never seen before.

When two graphene sheets are rotated relative to each other, they form what are known as moiré lattices. At certain “magic” twist angles, the electrons in these moiré lattices interact strongly, giving rise to superconductivity and insulating behavior reminiscent of that found in high-temperature superconductors. Less is known, however, about what happens when multiple moiré lattices overlap and create an even larger and even more complex ("higher order") pattern: a supermoiré lattice. 

The Graphene Connect online event, which will take place in 11–12 March, is the perfect chance to deep-dive into the world of graphene and 2D materials - from roll-to-roll CVD manufacturing and industrial-scale production, to graphene-based neural interfaces, sustainable packaging, advanced batteries, membranes, concrete, anti-corrosion and more. 

Your ticket does not just cover two live days – it also gives year‑round access to the recordings of this event plus 1,500+ talks across all TechBlick and Graphene‑Info online and onsite programs (including Perovskite Connect, MicroLED Connect, Batteries RESHAPED, Electronics RESHAPED and more).

Researchers from Monash University and Swansea University recently reported a new way to create highly concentrated graphene inks that flow well enough for industrial printing, without relying on performance-limiting additives.

The team addressed this challenge by compacting expanded reduced graphite oxide into dense-block reduced graphite oxide, termed DB-rGtO, allowing the formulation of stable dispersions of graphene-derived material at concentrations up to 200 mg·mL⁻¹, while maintaining manageable flowability and deformation resistance. 

Haydale Graphene Industries has officially changed its registered name to Haydale, and will commence trading on AIM under the new name, with its TIDM "HAYD" and ISIN remaining unchanged.

The move presumably reflects a shift from a narrowly branded graphene R&D focus toward a broader advanced‑materials and clean‑technology platform.

Lyten, the supermaterial applications company and inventor of Lyten 3D Graphene™, has announced its expansion into the global concrete market with the launch of Lyten S Cure™ , a high-performance concrete admixture engineered to make infrastructure stronger, more durable, and faster to build - without requiring changes to existing production processes or compromising on cost.

S Cure marks Lyten's third major industrial vertical, extending its proprietary supermaterials platform from battery energy storage and composites for 3D printing and adhesives, into the world's most widely used construction material. The launch reflects Lyten's broader strategy: applying molecular-scale materials engineering to solve foundational performance challenges in critical infrastructure.
