Avadain has completed a $4.5m capital offering through Netcapital, a digital private capital markets ecosystem. Avadain had already raised approximately $1.4 million through its initial offering on the Netcapital funding portal platform in 2022.

The Company plans to use the capital to continue its mission of growing its green, globally patented process for manufacturing a unique form of graphene. The Company envisions the application of its graphene in a myriad of industries.

Archer Materials, a semiconductor company advancing the quantum computing and medical diagnostics industries, has demonstrated multiplexing readout for its advanced Biochip graphene field effect transistor (“gFET”) device.

Archer confirmed single-device multiplexing using four advanced gFETs as sensors, which were integrated into the Archer advanced Biochip platform. This is significant as Archer intends to apply its multiplexing capability in the Biochip to test for multiple diseases on a single chip at once.

MSI, a leading manufacturer of gaming hardware, has announced it will be expanding its QD-OLED gaming monitor lineup. The new monitors will reportedly make use of graphene's thermal conductivity in its heat management technology. 

All models will be equipped with the latest generation of QD-OLED panels and will be available in both curved and flat models. Among other thing, the new monitors will enjoy a fan-less design, enhanced with graphene thermal tech for efficient and silent heat dispersion. This further extends the lifespan of these innovative QD-OLED panels.

Researchers at Spain's IMDEA Nanoscience, Donostia International Physics Center, Ikerbasque and Poland's University of Opole have developed an analytical method to explain the formation of a quasi-perfect 1D moiré pattern in twisted bilayer graphene. The pattern, naturally occurring in piled 2D materials when a strain force is applied, represents a set of channels for electrons.

The team studied the effects of strain in moiré systems composed of honeycomb lattices. The scientists elucidated the formation of almost perfect one-dimensional moiré patterns in twisted bilayer systems. The formation of such patterns is a consequence of an interplay between twist and strain which gives rise to a collapse of the reciprocal space unit cell. As a criterion for such collapse, they found a simple relation between the two quantities and the material specific Poisson ratio. The induced one-dimensional behavior is characterized by two, usually incommensurate, periodicities.

HydroGraph Clean Power, a commercial manufacturer of graphene and other nanomaterials, has announced a non-brokered private placement of units of the Company for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2,000,000.

Net proceeds from the offering will be used for application development, business development and general working capital purposes. 

Researchers at Graphenea, University of Utah and Kairos Sensors have examined a perovskite-based graphene field effect transistor (P-GFET) device for X-ray detection. 

The device architecture consisted of a commercially available GFET-S20 chip, produced by Graphenea, with a layer of methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI₃) perovskite spin coated onto the top of it. This device was exposed to the field of a molybdenum target X-ray tube with beam settings between 20 and 60 kVp (X-ray tube voltage) and 30–300 μA (X-ray tube current). Dose measurements were taken with an ion-chamber and thermo-luminescent dosimeters and used to determine the sensitivity of the device as a function of the X-ray tube voltage and current, as well as source-drain voltage.
