The evolution of automotive technology is a continuous pursuit of efficiency, comfort, and innovation. One of the most recent advancements in the field promises to revolutionize how we think about in-car comfort and energy efficiency: the integration of graphene heater inks into heated seating. This approach isn’t simply novel; it’s a cutting-edge yet fully realised…

Net zero is both an approach and a target that affects all areas of life.   The ultimate goal is to consciously balance global greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. That requires us to match the amount of greenhouse gasses emitted into the atmosphere with the amount removed. Thus, a net zero approach may focus on…

Composites are at the heart of material innovation. Engineers have experimented with novel material mixtures since prehistory, concrete being the prime example. This rudimentary mixing of earthen materials still has a role to play in modern society. However, the science of composite manufacturing now occupies the forefront of materials science, notably, in the application of…

Our bodies produce biomarkers to signal the types of processes that are going on within them. From our pulses to our blood pressure, we can hone in on biomarkers to learn more about diseases. Then if we keep track of them, we can see how these conditions can change. For patients, biomarker detection can play…

Graphene was hailed as a “wonder material” when it was first isolated in 2004. It represented a new frontier of material development, exhibiting unparalleled strength, electrical conductivity, and thermal properties. Yet, there has arguably been a failure to deliver on that early promise. Graphene is an extremely tricky material to produce in industrial quantities. Mechanical…
