Introduction to various fields of graphene applications

Our busy life makes us too busy to browse the dazzling information. In order to facilitate our accurate and rapid access to the latest and most valuable graphene research trends, we specially select the research hot spots in the graphene field in the recent week for your attention.

1. Graphene yacht components - advanced graphene products developed as graphene yacht components

Poland's advanced graphene product (AGP) graphene producer and the University of Lodz have launched a joint project for the production of flexible graphene components for yachts. They plan to develop a technology that will rely on fiber-based graphene components that will allow for the reduction and retention of various elements and even increase their strength and flexibility. The program is AGP made of high-strength metallurgical graphene, a patented mandatory material yacht component by the Polish company. It is made of a thin layer of metal that can be easily processed and transferred to other surfaces of graphene.

The unique advantages of graphene will improve the performance of other materials, and thus be applied in industrial production, bringing the gospel to technology and life.

2. A tunable high sensitivity graphene sensor

Recently, researchers have used graphite to improve molecular detection methods: infrared absorption spectroscopy. When given the correct geometry, graphene is able to make light at a precise point on the surface and "perceive" the vibration of the nanomolecules in its vicinity.

Researchers have adapted the voltage to "tune" the graphene sensor to different frequencies, which is not possible with current sensors.

3. Super graphene can help treat cancer

At present, the coating of medical devices is basically silver material, but this will destroy the drug. Recently, researchers have found that graphene coated drugs do not destroy drug molecules, which increases the effectiveness of chemotherapy.

Graphene has been proposed as a coating for medical devices, and according to current research, it is highly probable that a thin layer of graphene is produced for coating of medical devices.

4. Graphene film cooling electronic equipment

Researchers at the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden demonstrated how to use graphene films to effectively cool electronic devices. An effective way to handle excess heat is a necessary means of extending the life of the electrons, as well as a considerable reduction in energy use.

The heating of electronic devices is an annoyance for every user. Perhaps with the development of graphene, you will use electronic devices that are not hot in the future.

5. Graphene-based audio equipment can communicate within the bat frequency range

Physicists at the University of California have used graphene materials to develop thin, ultra-light supersonic microphones and speakers, and to ensure high-quality two-way communication at the frequency of bat and dolphin sounds. Researchers believe that graphene-based microphones and speakers will have practical applications for underwater communication, which is not possible with standard radio communications in water.

These new microphones will be of great value in studying high frequency auditory signals, such as the frequencies used by bats.

6. Tunable graphene sensor will be used for nanomolecule detection

Researchers at the Bionanophotonic Systems Laboratory (BIOS) at the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, together with researchers at the Institute of Photonics (ICFO, Spain), have begun to develop test protein and drug molecules using the unique optical and electronic properties of grapheme reconfigurable and highly sensitive sensors.

The powerful features of graphene sensors have also been introduced in the past, and cross-applications between disciplines may bring unexpected results. The disciplines are not isolated from each other, and graphene will be more and more used in the field of medical biology. More surprise applications are worth looking forward to.
