Liam Critchley's article underscores the potential of 3D printing in advancing piezoelectric devices for biomedical applications.

Researchers created a hybrid anode to improve the performance and stability of sodium-ion batteries for potential commercial use.

How to Suitably Control Certain Properties of Graphene Image Credit: BONNINSTUDIO/Shutterstock.com Almost everyone who knows something about graphene has heard about its many properties. Graphene possesses a number of excellent properties, and this makes it suitable for many applications —from low-tech additive to high-tech electronic applications. Despite having excellent properties, scientists have been continually manipulating and changing the properties of graphene to fi...

Image Credit: Dr. Me/Shutterstock.com As a stand-alone material, graphene has some excellent electrical conductivity and charge carrier mobility properties that make it ideal for energy storage devices. However, for a lot of these devices, a single layer of graphene (often referred to as CVD graphene after the synthesis process) is required but compared to other types of graphene (multi-layer and graphene nanoplatelets), the cost of CVD is much higher, and it is not as scalable as other graphe...

Image Credit: petrmalinak/Shutterstock.com The pursuit of modern-day technologies means that new energy storage solutions are being sought. As it stands, most efforts tend to focus on small-scale energy storage, such as the electrochemical Li-ion battery. However, thermochemical batteries are becoming an increasing interest in large-scale energy storage solutions. Thermal-based batteries have traditionally featured higher energy densities than electrochemical batteries but have been less stabl...

Image Credit: metamorworks/Shutterstock.com As the world looks to a more sustainable and advanced way of life, both measures need to be balanced. The era of automation and smart electronics helps develop intelligent technologies that can be rolled out across whole cities and improve our quality of life. Similarly, modern-day societys advanced age has highlighted the need for more sustainability. Different solutions are required for these areas in many cases, but graphene has emerged as a conte...

Image Credit: koya979/Shutterstock.com Graphene is known as a 2D material. While its inherent structure and electronic properties are 2D (i.e. electrons can only travel in 2 dimensions), graphene can also be made into 3D structures. Graphene foams have received increased interest over the years thanks to the discovery and development of Laser-Induced Graphene (LIG) by Dr James Tour from Rice University. Graphene foams involve a carbon-rich surface being lasered to produce a 3D graphene foam. E...
