First steps to create biodegradable displays for electronics
more »
Americans, on average, replace their mobile phones every 22 months, junking more than 150 million phones a year in the process. Now researchers are on the path to creating biodegradable electronics by using organic components in screen displays. The researchers' advancements could one day help reduce electronic waste in the world's landfills.

M16 and the Eagle Nebula
more »
A star cluster around 2 million years young surrounded by natal clouds of dust and glowing gas, M16 is also known as The Eagle Nebula. This beautifully detailed image of the region includes cosmic sculptures made famous in Hubble Space Telescope close-ups of the starforming complex. Described as elephant trunks or Pillars of Creation, dense, dusty columns rising near the center are light-years in length but are gravitationally contracting to form stars. Energetic radiation from the cluster stars erodes material near the tips, eventually exposing the embedded new stars. Extending from the ridge of bright emission left of center is another dusty starforming column known as the Fairy of Eagle Nebula. M16 and the Eagle Nebula lie about 7,000 light-years away, an easy target for binoculars or small telescopes in a nebula rich part of the sky toward the split constellation Serpens Cauda (the tail of the snake).

via Graphenea
Graphenea's Business Development Director, Iñigo Charola, visited Japan last week. The purpose of the visit was to support Graphenea's activities in the far East. To that end, Iñigo spent the week visiting our customers in Japan, and on Wednesday was invited to give a talk at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Tokyo, and in particular Japan's Graphene Consortium, led by AIST.
The audience of the talk was composed of consortium members (companies, universities and research centers). Iñigo shared Graphenea's vision of the graphene market and explained how our 2.2M € investment in production scale-up will support the evolution of the industry. Graphenea is very active in the far East with the help of our distribution network and through numerous scientific collaborations.
