About

Newcastle University awarded a contract to Graphene Industries Ltd for the supply, delivery, and installation support of a transfer machine to fabricate van der Waals heterostructures from two-dimensional materials, including graphene, boron nitride, transition metal dichalcogenides, and perovskites.

The equipment, funded through UKRI as part of a start-up package, was set up in the Herschel Annex within the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics, Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering.

The machine enables the selection of 2D materials of required thickness, size, and shape on various substrates and the controlled stacking of these materials for optics and electronics applications.

The contract, valued at AUD 79,150, included after-sales support and a 12-month warranty and maintenance.
