Archer Materials has started experiments to detect and monitor chronic kidney disease on its Biochip graphene field effect transistor (“gFET”) sensors.

VTT has developed a skin spray, based on nanocellulose and antimicrobial compounds from wild berries, which can be used to treat wounds and eliminate hospital-acquired bacteria such as MRSA before surgery. The product can also be applied as a cream, transdermal patch, or wound dressing.

Cerebral Energy has secured a $1.6 million contract from AFWERX to further develop a lithium-free battery made from recycled aluminum and graphene. Developed by Cornell University researchers, this battery is 3 times more efficient than lithium, safer, charges 10 times faster, and avoids supply chain issues.
