    Europe Has Invested €1 Billion Into Graphene—But For What?

    Six years ago, the European Union (EU) embarked on an ambitious project to create a kind of Silicon Valley for the “wonder material” of the last decade: graphene. The project—called the Graphene Flagship—would leverage €1 billion over 10 years to
    push graphene into commercial markets.

    In the past six years, the Graphene Flagship has spawned nine companies and 46 new graphene-based products. Despite these achievements, there remains a sense among critics that the wonder material has not lived up to expectations

    the project’s achievements—or lack thereof—is a barometer for the commercial status of graphene

    A new theoretical model may help explain the shocking onset of superconductivity in stacked, twisted carbon sheets.

    Sorry, graphene—borophene is the new wonder material that’s got everyone excited
    Stronger and more flexible than graphene, a single-atom layer of boron could revolutionize sensors, batteries, and catalytic chemistry.
