There are advances being made almost daily in the disciplines required to make space and its contents accessible. This blog brings together a lot of that info, as it is reported, tracking the small steps into space that will make it just another place we carry out normal human economic, leisure and living activities.

Imaging technique may help discover Earth-like planets
Regular telescopes are not good at detecting Earth-like planets because a host star's light generally drowns out the relatively dimmer light of a potential planet. A new development in space imaging may solve that vexing problem.

Graphenea at Nanotech Tokyo 2016
In January, Graphenea attended Nanotech Tokyo 2016, the world’s largest nanotechnology conference and exhibition. Business Development Director Iñigo Charola presented the graphene market, status and projections, focusing on Graphenea’s role as a leading graphene provider.

Aside from Iñigo’s lecture, Graphenea presented a stand at the Spanish pavilion, showcasing our graphene materials catalog. Our materials were also advertised on the stand of our Japanese distributor New Metals & Chemicals Corp. With direct distribution from Japan and custom material development for large Japanese multinationals, Graphenea’s presence in Asia is already very strong. Our triple action at the Nanotech conference, in front of about 50,000 attendees, could only serve to gain a stronger foothold in the region.

This 15th edition of the Nanotech exhibition was hosted alongside related events 3D Printing, Smart Energy Japan, neofunctional materials, Printable Electronics, 3Decotech Expo and others. Material makers, equipment manufacturers, universities, research associations, and political representatives gave presentations to form a unique blend of research, technology, and financial nanotechnology landscape.
Following up on last year’s success, this year’s conference also employed Business Matching, an online system of matching exhibitors to customers for enhanced networking.
