Graphene-Info: the graphene experts

Researchers from the University of Cambridge, CNRS and Imperial College London have used machine learning-driven molecular dynamics simulations to explore how defects in the surface of two-dimensional sheets alter ripple effects. 

They found that above a critical concentration of defects, free-standing graphene sheets undergo a dynamic transition from freely propagating to static ripples. The team's computational approach captures the dynamics with atomic resolution, and reveals that the transition is driven by elastic interactions between defects. The strength of these interactions is found to vary across defect types and a unifying set of principles was identified, driving the dynamic-to-static transition in 2D materials.

Haydale announced its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2024. Revenues decreased by 50% to £1.25 million, and the company's operating loss increased by 32% to £2.13 million. At the end of the year, the company had £1.99 million in cash and equivalents.

Haydale has recently changed its business strategy, to focus the business on near-term revenue opportunities, aggressively reduce costs and stem cash outflows in 2025. The monthly run-rate operating expenses for the remaining UK business is approximately £275,000.

Solidion Technology has announced that its lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have reached a cell energy density of 380 Wh/kg. Solidion's immediate next target is 450 Wh/kg. This exciting result was recently confirmed by a leading EV battery producer.

Solidion develops effective solutions capable of resolving the major technical issues that have thus far impeded full commercialization of Li-S barriers; these solutions include graphene/elastomer-protected lithium metal anode, 3D graphene-protected sulfur cathode, and quasi-solid or solid-state electrolyte. 

Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) has announced AUD$5 million (around USD$3,146,000) bought deal public offering, with a syndicate of underwriters led by Ventum Financial Corp. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to expand its production capacity to increase sales, continue ongoing research and development to progress the Graphene Aluminum-Ion Battery with BIC Indiana, preparation to uplist on a major US exchange, working capital and general corporate purposes.

In addition, GMG announced that it, C&W Services Singapore and ACMES, GMG's Singapore Thermal-XR distributor, have successfully completed energy savings case studies with a Singapore bank. The energy savings was seen on average between 10% to 20%. Following the successful case study, the bank is now exploring the potential to scale the application of Thermal-XR Enhance across more branches.

Paulig’s venture arm, PINC, is investing in Glenntex, a Sweden-based startup that has developed a method to functionalize graphene to reduce the need for virgin plastic in packaging by up to 30%. Paulig is an international food and beverage company and PINC is its venture arm for investments in early-stage startups in and around the future of food. 

The European Union is driving circularity efforts, with the implementation of ‘The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation’ (PPWR), aiming to ensure that all packaging is reusable or recyclable by 2030. Innovation and packaging design is key for the industry’s ability to meet the sustainability targets for 2030 and beyond.  

Versarien has announced, further to the previously announced manufacturing license agreement, know-how license and technical assistance agreement entered into with Montana Química, that it has now signed a two-year supply agreement to provide some of the Company's proprietary graphene and related material dispersions and formulations (Graphinks™) to Montana (the "Supply Agreement").

Montana is a Brazilian headquartered multinational business focused on the production and sale of paints, wood preservatives and other wood finishing products including paints, stains and varnishes.  Versarien understands it is Montana's intention to utilize the Company's Graphinks™ in application areas such as construction, composites, coatings and lubricants.

Huawei's Mate X6 recently made an appearance at the MWC 2025, along with Mate XT, Watch D2, and the powerful Mate 70 series. While the device contains various features to attract consumers, it gained attention for its unique graphene-based cooling system. 

A cooling system or vapor chamber cooling is a thermal management system that uses evaporation and condensation to dissipate heat from a phone’s components. It prevents overheating, improves performance, and boosts battery life. But Huawei has implemented the next-level cooling innovation into Mate X6 by using graphene sheets. The company showcased how the foldable phone’s graphene sheet easily slices ice cubes into pieces without putting any extra effort or force on it.
