Researchers have shown for the first time gate tunable third harmonic generation in graphene. This could enable on-chip broadband optical switches for data transport in optical systems, leading to faster, more reliable ultra-broad bandwidth transfers.

In a series of exciting experiments conducted in November and December, Cambridge Graphene Centre researchers experienced weightlessness testing graphene’s application in space.

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.

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.
