The U.S. Department of Energy has nominated Vorbeck Materials for the title of "America's Next Top Energy Innovator", in competition with 36 other companies. The public is asked to vote for the company they believe could make the greatest contribution to the country's energy future.

A recent posting on the EQN blog maintained by Princeton University's School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) briefly describes the connection between researchers at Princeton and Vorbeck Materials, and the work done by Vorbeck using graphene.
