Graphene Insights

Graphene is emerging as a sustainable, high-performance alternative to rare earth elements—offering superior conductivity, strength, and scalability while reducing environmental impact and supply chain dependence.

Researchers at IISc and NIMS have observed electrons in ultra-clean graphene flowing as a frictionless Dirac fluid, defying textbook physics and violating the Wiedemann-Franz law. This breakthrough offers a tabletop platform to explore high-energy physics phenomena and opens pathways for next-generation quantum technologies.

Graphene-based single-photon detectors deliver room-temperature, high-efficiency performance without bulky cryogenic systems. Their compact, cost-effective design enables breakthroughs in quantum communication, medical imaging, and astrophysics, offering unmatched sensitivity, speed, and multi-wavelength capability to revolutionize photon detection for next-generation technologies.
