When Charging Is Instant: Graphene and the Rise of Supercapacitors

When Charging Is Instant: Graphene and the Rise of Supercapacitors

There is a quiet assumption built into modern life: charging takes time. Phones sit tethered to outlets. Electric vehicles remain parked for hours. Backup systems require advance preparation. Even in advanced defense systems, power delivery is often constrained by the physics of battery chemistry. But what if charging were nearly

Graphene Batteries Are Finally Becoming Real: What That Means for EVs, Defense, and Grid Storage

Graphene Batteries Are Finally Becoming Real: What That Means for EVs, Defense, and Grid Storage

For more than a decade, graphene batteries have existed in a strange place within the technology landscape — simultaneously heralded as a revolutionary breakthrough and dismissed as perpetually “five years away.” That narrative is beginning to change. Advances in materials processing, manufacturing scalability, and hybrid battery architecture are pushing graphene-enhanced energy

Stronger Than Steel, Lighter Than Kevlar: How Graphene Could Redefine Bulletproof Protection

Stronger Than Steel, Lighter Than Kevlar: How Graphene Could Redefine Bulletproof Protection

The next generation of body armor may be built atom by atom. For decades, bullet-resistant protection has followed a familiar tradeoff. Increased protection typically comes at the cost of increased weight. Heavier armor slows movement, increases fatigue, and limits endurance — factors that directly influence survivability in combat and law enforcement

From Nobel Discovery to Strategic Dependency: The Graphene Supply Wake-Up Call

From Nobel Discovery to Strategic Dependency: The Graphene Supply Wake-Up Call

Ten years is not a long time in the lifecycle of transformative technologies. Yet in the world of advanced materials, a decade can be the difference between scientific leadership and industrial dependency. In 2010, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov for their groundbreaking

Graphene and the Next Industrial Layer Special Report | The Long View Every industrial era is defined by a small number of enabling materials. They are rarely visible. They are almost never celebrated. But once embedded, they shape everything built on top of them. Steel did not announce the modern world.

How Manufacturing and Supply Chains Will Decide Graphene’s Industrial Winners Special Report | Manufacturing & Supply Chain Graphene’s technical promise is no longer in question. Its electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties are well established. Its relevance across defense, energy, and nuclear systems is increasingly clear. What remains uncertain—and

Why Execution, Not Discovery, Will Determine Graphene’s Winners Special Report | Research & Translation Graphene is no longer constrained by scientific understanding. Its fundamental properties—mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, thermal performance, and chemical stability—have been validated across thousands of peer-reviewed studies. The bottleneck facing graphene today is not discovery.
