The University of Mississippi has established a new center to advance translational science and engineering of graphene-based technologies. The Center for Graphene Research and Innovation will focus on bridging the gap between university-based science and discovery and industry-led innovations and applications for graphene.

The center will partner with a number of public and private entities, including the National Graphene Association (NGA), which will assist the center by promoting its research achievements and helping to develop relationships between the center and other graphene-focused businesses and researchers worldwide.
