2D-BioPAD and MUNASET at Graphene Week 2025: Showcasing Graphene-Based Biomedical Innovation
Graphene Flagship spearhead project - AEROGrAFT* - has a spin-off company from Kiel University called AERO MATERIALS and they are making nanomaterials that are 99.9% air!
This revolutionary technology provides energy savings of 40%, on average, compared to traditional electric radiators and is a competitive alternative to heat pumps. A thin, versatile, eco-friendly, and easy-to-install radiant solution.
Florian Graßme is a researcher working at the intersection of 2D materials and nanosheet functionalisation. Their work in the 2D PRINTABLE project is laying the groundwork for future applications in printable electronics and nano-engineered devices.
For Robin Smeyers, a passion for 2D materials began with a single thesis and quickly grew into a full-blown research journey. What started as a master’s project on graphene became a launchpad for academic discovery, leading him to a PhD focused on one of the most intriguing frontiers in condensed matter physics: straintronics. Robin’s work ranges from simulating balloon-like graphene structures to exploring the possibilities of room-temperature superconductors, laying the foundation for technologies that could one day transform our world.
