A first-in-human trial found that inhaled graphene oxide produce no short-term ill effectsDepositphotosA human trial found that inhaling an ultra-pure version of graphene, known as the "wonder material," didn't cause any immediate negative impacts on lung and cardiovascular health in a limited number of healthy participants. This pioneering study paves the way for exploring...
Graphene, a material derived from ordinary pencil lead when shaved down to atomic layers, has demonstrated an array of extraordinary properties over the years. When stacked into five layers in a rhombohedral pattern, graphene exhibits a rare "multiferroic" state, combining unconventional magnetism and a unique form of electronic behavior known as ferro-valleytricity. This discovery,...

The Schwinger effect is an evasive process that usually happens only in cosmic events. The group - based at the National Graphene Institute - accomplished to...
The material keyboard realized by the ETH Zurich researchers. By applying electric voltages (“keys”) at different points, the magic-angle graphene can become locally superconducting (electron pairs) or isolating (barrier on the right).
