Tough stuff: Spider silk enhanced with graphene-based materials
Natural spider silk has excellent mechanical properties. Researchers from the Graphene Flagship have found a way to boost the strength of spider’s silk using graphene-based materials, paving the way for a novel class of high-performance bionic composites.
Graphene-based terahertz absorbers
Graphene Flagship researches create a terahertz saturable absorber using printable graphene inks with an order of magnitude higher absorption modulation than other devices produced to date.
Zero Gravity: Graphene for Space Applications
The Cambridge Graphene Centre are involved in one of two Graphene Flagship experiments testing graphene in zero-gravity conditions that will be launched in November.
