the company estimates that this graphene-based heating system can reduce energy costs by anywhere from 25 to 70 percent.
Xefro uses graphene-based ink that can be printed on a variety of materials and into just about any configuration.
The system takes advantage of graphene's minimal thermal mass so the heat can be turned on and off quickly,
and leverages graphene large surface area so that energy isn wasted in heating up the heater itself. he innovation is all about getting useable heat where it is needed,

and systems before we finally arrived at graphene. o meet the company third criteria, that the material should be usable in a wide variety of shapes and sizes,
and its thickness depending on the required application. nce Xefro made the decision to use graphene,
and ensure that most of the heat is emitted out into the room rather than simply heating up the wall behind the heater. hile graphene does offer some attractive properties for reducing wasted energy,
it is the combination of the graphene-based heating element with an electronic control system that provides the real cost savings. ecause graphene gives us an instant on/off response,
that was applying graphene to a home heating system, producing energy savings over traditional systems. Now research out of MIT is showing that coating power plant condensers with graphene could make them more energy efficient.
In research published in the journal Nano Letters, the MIT team addressed one of the basic elements of steam-generated electricity:
and found that by layering their surfaces with graphene they can improve the rate of heat transfer by a factor of four.
The condensers gain efficiency because the the graphene resists the formation of films on the condensers.
#Graphene Shines in World's Thinnest Light bulb Back in April, we covered news that graphene was going to make a commercial breakout of sorts as a coating in an LED light bulb to reduce its energy consumption

The aim of creating integrated circuits that use photons rather than electrons sometimes called integrated photonic circuits,
But graphene makes all the difference. The international team demonstrated heating the graphene-based filament to 2500 Degree celsius,
so that it would glow brightly enough to be seen by the naked eye. The material success in this application depended on two of its properties:
Graphene unusual heat conduction was key to keeping the light emitter from destroying the chip it was built on.
The lack of conduction confines the heat within a small ot spotin the center of the graphene filament.
Graphene transparency was behind the discovery that emitted spectrum of light emitted had peaks at certain wavelengths.

#A new ink formulation allows you to 3d print objects out of stretchy graphene A few months ago,
which amazingly consists of 60 percent graphene (in terms of volume), making up 75 percent of its weight.
To explain, graphene is essentially a form of carbon, just like diamonds or the lead in pencils.
graphene is a 2d material that consists of a hexagonal sheet only a single atom thick.
And while some graphene successes have been achieved previously, this specific ink contains more graphene than any previously developed 3d printable materials (the previous record was around the 20 percent).
This means that the electrical and mechanical properties of graphene can soon be taken into use.
What's more, the rest of the ink consists of a biocompatible biodegradable polyester (PLG) that,
thus really onto something. eople have tried to print graphene before. But it been a mostly polymer composite with graphene making up less than 20 percent of the volume
Shah explains on her university website. This means these materials don copy graphene properties and remain to brittle and fragile to use.
And while you might think that a 60-70 percent graphene content isn the real deal either,
this does in fact copy all the properties you need, while the remaining materials ensure flexibility and robustness. t a liquid ink,
entitled hree-dimensional printing of high-content graphene scaffolds for electronic and biomedical applications. 3d printed graphene appeared on the cover.
As a test, her team populated a graphene scaffold with stem cells, with the results being excellent.
The secret to this graphene ink is that the graphene is embedded into microscopic flakes. This makes the ink highly viscous,
but extrusion realigns all the flakes to create a single filament with all the characteristics of graphene.
the elasticity of the material can be tuned by changing the portions of graphene and polymers.
but that increases when the amount of graphene is decreased (though eventually this means losing some graphene properties).

#Graphene Used for World's Thinnest Light bulb This clip shows the emission of light from graphene,
The graphene vibrates during light emission due to the flexural mode of graphene at high temperature. The team, led by Young Duck Kim, a postdoctoral researcher at Columbia Engineering,
and graphene-based on-chip optical communications,"said Hone, Wang Fon-Jen Professor of Mechanical engineering at Columbia Engineering and co-author of the study.
The team showed that the graphene reached temperatured over 2500#C by measuring the spectrum of emitted light.
This temperature was sufficient for the graphene to glow brightly.""The visible light from atomically thin graphene is so intense that it is visible even to the naked eye,
without any additional magnification,"explained Young Duck Kim, first and co-lead author on the paper.
The team identified that the peaks were due to interference between the light that was emitted directly from the graphene,
and was passed back to the graphene. Kim stated,"This is only possible because graphene is transparent, unlike any conventional filament,
and allows us to tune the emission spectrum by changing the distance to the substrate.""Graphene's ability to reach such high temperatures without melting the metal electrodes
or the substrate is due an interesting characteristic: graphene's conductivity decreases as it heats up.
This means that the high temperatures are restricted to a small'hot spot'in the center.""At the highest temperatures, the electron temperature is much higher than that of acoustic vibrational modes of the graphene lattice,
so that less energy is needed to attain temperatures needed for visible light emission. These unique thermal properties allow us to heat the suspended graphene up to half of temperature of the sun,
as compared to graphene on a solid substrate, "explained Myung-Ho Bae, a senior researcher at KRISS and co-lead author.

#New graphene display creates LEDS at an atomic level Graphene has had a rough go of it of late.
This doesn mean that graphene has no electronics applications, however, and a research team from the University of Manchester has published a report detailing how flexible 2d graphene arrays could be used in the next-generation of LED screens.
This new project differs from earlier demonstrations of graphene technology. In September the Cambridge Graphene Centre demonstrated a display that incorporated a graphene electrode.
The new LEDS built by the University of Manchester in this experiment were engineered apparently at an atomic level from multiple layers of crystal lattice as shown below.
This graphene design, however, appears to buck that trend; the University of Manchester team certified that the graphene-based LEDS have remained robust and continued to emit light for weeks.
The team claims that these graphene-based LEDS can emit light across their entire surface (apparently obviating
or reducing the need for a backlight) and have reached efficiencies that are already comparable to organic LEDS in terms of quantum efficiency (photons emitted per electron injected).
Whether or not that means graphene-based LED TECHNOLOGY can supplant OLED is, of course, an open question.

In order to coax the graphene-boron honeycomb into exposing its hidden behaviors, some additional outside influence needs to be imposed.
When the graphene-boron honeycombs are stacked out of alignment, they create something known as a oire pattern
what really has excited the researchers is some of the other physical effects they were able get from graphene.
electron behavior in graphene is ltrarelativisticand therefore is described better using the lesser-known Dirac equation.
