Graphene 2025 held in San Sebastian
During the last week of June (25-28th), the international conference Graphene 2025 was held in San Sebastian, which is the home of Graphenea. Scientific talks were given by world-renowned speakers such as Nobel laureate Kostya Novoselov, Philip Kim, and Dmitri Basov. In parallel, 22 exhibitors showcased cutting-edge technologies and an industrial forum took place, focusing on commercialization and tech transfer.
The conference covered a range of topics, such as growth, synthesis, and integration of 2D materials, flexible electronics, sensors, and high-frequency devices, quantum transport, spintronics, and topological physics, health and medical applications of graphene, photonics, plasmonics, MXenes, nanographene, and van der Waals heterostructures.
Our Amaia Zurutuza chaired two sessions, one in the plenary part of the conference, and one in the industrial forum. The first session hosted a round table on the topic of “Future challenges in 2D materials applications”. The industrial forum session covered aspects of graphene applications, such as graphene-based energy storage systems, the 2D pilot line, future electronics and CMOS biosensing.

Alba Centeno delivered a talk on “Next-Generation Graphene: Manufacturing and Innovative Applications”. The presentation highlighted the latest technological advancements and business opportunities for graphene as a key platform for future biosensing and photonic applications. Alba covered state-of-the-art technologies for graphene production on a 200mm wafer scale, ensuring scalability, uniformity, and reproducibility, discussing our graphene-based biosensors, showcasing them as a versatile platform for rapid, reliable, and cost-effective diagnostic testing on a large scale. Graphene sensors outperform conventional techniques, achieving attomolar-level sensitivity. Graphenea recently released our 2nd generation mGFET product for biosensing. Alba also reminded the audience of the multi-project-wafer run for biosensing, which is now open for submissions.
