It was announced that Haydale Graphene Industries has signed a strategic collaboration with Interfloor, Europe’s largest manufacturer of carpet underlay and flooring accessories, to integrate JustHeat heater inserts into Interfloor’s flooring systems. 

The agreement stipulates that Haydale and Interfloor will collaborate to integrate JustHeat heater inserts with Interfloor’s underlays and specified coverings, creating a new range of solutions for launch in the second half of financial 2026. 

Midea, a global producer of smart home and lifestyle solutions, has unveiled the Midea Wave Range - a multi-functional free-standing oven that integrates microwave and graphene heating technologies, with emphasis on its applicability for compact European kitchens and efficient cooking. Key innovations and technical features include the incorporation of graphene heating tubes and integrated appliance design tailored to user needs in small domestic spaces.

The lower oven in the Wave Range uses graphene-enhanced heating tubes, which leverage graphene’s high thermal conductivity, electrical efficiency, and resilience at high temperatures. Laboratory assessments report that these tubes are capable of reaching temperatures up to 1300°C within 0.2 seconds, significantly reducing or eliminating traditional preheating times. This advancement could translate to shorter cooking durations and a reduction in energy usage, while the emission of near-infrared radiation facilitates uniform browning and moisture retention in food—a result said to be documented in comparative studies with conventional quartz and metal heating tubes.

Shanghai University researchers have designed a blue-green light micro-LED for Augmented Reality Heads-up Displays (AR-HUD) using COMSOL software, coupling photo-thermal properties with multi-physical fields. By incorporating a graphene film and heat sink for heat dissipation, the thermal management scheme of the micro-LED was further optimized. 

The effect of graphene film thickness on heat dissipation performance was investigated, with the aim to improve photoelectric conversion efficiency and reduce the impact of high junction temperature on device reliability and performance.

Graphjet Technology has announced it will support and collaborate with Centre for Materials Engineering and Smart Manufacturing (MERCU) of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) on integrating graphite and graphene into additive manufacturing technology to develop advance heat sinks.

In addition, Graphjet has completed a laboratory which enhanced its capability to perform quality testing on its graphite and graphene as well as research on improvements to the graphite and graphene produced. This will reduce the Company’s reliance on third party for testing services and would allow a much quicker turnaround time for the Company’s development program. This laboratory will also serve in the collaboration with UKM.

Mobile phone brand Realme has launched the GT 7 Dream Edition in South Africa, created in collaboration with the Aston Martin Formula One team, which makes use of IceSense graphene technology.

The launch of the new Realme flagship falls in line with the company’s strategy to double its global user base and establish itself as a major player in the high-end segment. The co-branded GT 7 Dream Edition features a Racing Green finish, two-wing aerodynamic design, and an engraved silver wings badge. It also comes with a collector’s box including a themed case and F1 SIM card pin.

BeDimensional has launched an innovative graphene paint capable of generating heat through electrical power, creating a thin, easy-to-use radiant heating
system without mechanical components. 

The paint's performance has been certified by a team of professors from the University of Genoa, involved through its spin-off BuildTech, following the conclusion of a development started in 2023. The study involved numerous technical tests and simulations that demonstrated its high thermal conductivity, easy installation, and most importantly, significant energy consumption reduction: up to 40%, on average, compared to traditional electric radiators, competitive with heat pumps, and improved in relation to installation and maintenance costs.

Graphenest and Lohmann GmbH, a developer of adhesive technologies, have announced the signing of a joint-venture agreement to co-develop next-generation graphene-based adhesive systems for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and thermal management applications.

This strategic collaboration will combine Graphenest’s proprietary graphene production technology and abilities with Lohmann’s adhesive formulation expertise to deliver highly conductive, high-performance adhesive solutions for electronics, aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications.

It was reported that OnePlus' Nord 5 Series, set to launch at the beginning of July, will feature a thermal management system with Cryo-Velocity VC cooling, offering a 7,300 mm² heat dissipation surface area. It will also include flagship-grade graphene thermal technology, similar to the OnePlus 13, delivering a thermal conductivity of 1,800 W/m-K. 

According to the company, "This comprehensive cooling solution covers all key heat sources including CPU, cameras, and battery, ensuring consistently smooth performance even during intensive use and gameplay."

Haydale has provided a trading update highlighting the recent commercial progress of its JustHeat product line: a low-power, graphene-based heating system. According to Haydale, the product has now received UL certification, a critical regulatory milestone that enables the commercial sale of the JustHeat system in the US and Canada. 

It was reported that there is "strong demand" in the UK for JustHeat from social landlords. To date, Haydale says it has secured commitments for over 40 pilot installations across Welsh housing providers.

ViewSonic has launched the XG273-4K-OLED gaming monitor in China, that features a 26.5-inch QD-OLED panel with a 3840 x 2160 resolution and a refresh rate of 240Hz. It is priced at 6499 yuan (approximately $900).

The display was developed by Samsung Display and uses a fanless thermal system that includes a full graphene sheet and an aluminum heat sink. This setup aims to deliver stable, silent performance over long periods.
