My Weekly Graphene Newsletter
oh joy!
I mentioned in a previous substack that I signed up for this graphene newsletter about a year ago. Just to see what “innovative” applications are coming to market - although we know endless versions are already massively and deviously deployed, but I’ve been remiss in sharing them weekly for your perusal - I mentioned that I would do so but, you can sign up and get them yourself, if you too are a masochist…
So for anyone who wants to get into the weeds and READ BETWEEN THE LIES, here is the most recent newsletter. Like a nerd, I actually read them, very informative if you’re hip to their hideousness. I see lots of red flags, as always…I don’t think I have to highlight them - they are obvious to anyone who has been on this poison patrol.
And you might want to take note: So nice of Metalgrass (the name says it all) to make this newsletter available to the unwitting public…just reminding us that Israel is indeed our friend.
here’s their address…just found it curious…no?

Haydale and PETRONAS collaborate to accelerate graphene-enhanced commercial applications
Haydale and PETRONAS Technology Ventures (PTVSB), the technology commercialization arm of Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS), have executed a collaboration agreement to functionalize graphene for product applications, in an effort to accelerate commercialization of graphene-based formulations in various different industries.
The agreement, which runs through to 31 December 2025, will see the parties exploring graphene for further commercial applications in battery cells, composites, coatings and thermal materials, among others. The collaboration will also cover knowledge sharing between the parties.
Researchers visualize the microscopic phases of magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene
Researchers from Princeton University, University of California, Japan's National Institute for Materials Science, CNRS and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have use high-resolution scanning tunnelling microscopy to study the wavefunctions of the correlated phases in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG).
For the first time, the researchers were able to specifically capture unprecedentedly precise visualizations of the microscopic behavior of interacting electrons that give rise to the insulating quantum phase of MATBG. Additionally, through the use of novel and innovative theoretical techniques, they were able to interpret and understand these behaviors.
Sparc Technologies reports positive results from testing of ecosparc-enhanced coatings
Sparc Technologies has reported positive results in relation to its ecosparc product. The critical Thermal-Cycling Resistance Testing has reportedly demonstrated significant reductions in cracking when utilizing ecosparc-enhanced coatings in comparison to coatings without ecosparc.
The prevention and postponement of cracking plays a pivotal role in extending the life of protective coatings. A primary cause of coating deterioration, which subsequently leads to corrosion and asset degradation, is the occurrence of cracks on welds and angular surfaces. An accredited third-party laboratory conducted the ThermalCycling Resistance Test.
Graphene Manufacturing Group closes public offering
Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) has closed its previously announced offering of units. The Company reported gross proceeds of approximately CAD$3.45 million (around USD$2,549,000).
GMG said the net proceeds will be used primarily to strengthen its financial position and provide liquidity to finance ongoing operations, most notably for research and development.
BGS enters strategic partnership with Brook Restoration to use graphene-enhanced concrete in building and public infrastructure projects
Bio Graphene Solutions (BGS) has announced a strategic partnership with Brook Restoration, one of the largest structural restoration companies in Canada.
The strategic partnership will enable Brook to leverage BGS’s graphene-enhanced liquid admixture for concrete products in building and public infrastructure projects in Ontario. Brook has also made a strategic investment in BGS’s current financing - further solidifying Brook’s commitment to innovation and sustainability within the construction space.
MINIGRAPH project aims to pave the way for a new generation of graphene-based adaptive neuroelectronic therapies
The MINIGRAPH project (Minimally Invasive Neuromodulation Implant and implantation procedure based on ground-breaking GRAPHene technology for treating brain disorders) aims to pave the way for a new generation of adaptive neuroelectronic therapies, resolving the most important limitations of current technology. The project revolves around the development of a new generation of graphene-based brain implants.
The project started in October 2022 and will go on for 36 months. It is a HORIZON-EIC project, with an estimated cost of €3,928,402.50. Among its members are ICN2, IMEC, Fraunhofer, INBRAIN Neuroelectronics, MSRL and more. Recently, Scientists from the Czech Advanced Technologies and Research Institute – CATRIN at Palacký University also announced that they will participate in the project.
Researchers succeed in contacting individual graphene nanoribbons using carbon nanotube electrodes
Researchers from Empa and ETH Zurich, in collaboration with partners from Peking University, the University of Warwick and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, have succeeded in attaching electrodes to individual atomically precise graphene nanoribbons, paving the way for precise characterization of the ribbons and their possible use in quantum technology.

In the coming decades, quantum technology is expected to provide various technological breakthroughs: smaller and more precise sensors, highly secure communication networks, and powerful computers that can help develop new drugs and materials, control financial markets, and predict the weather much faster than current computing technology ever could. To achieve this, there is a need so-called quantum materials: substances that exhibit pronounced quantum physical effects. One such material is graphene. Giving it a ribbon-like shape, for example, gives rise to a range of controllable quantum effects.

The neuroimplant graphene is especially harrowing. But I'm glad they could give an 'estimate' of the cost down to the half-pound or we might be tempted to round up to 4 million pounds for these brain controlling devices. At least while our brains still worked.
Question: Is graphene combustible, ie. an accelerant? Are we becoming spark plugs?
