(L to R) The inventors of Graphene, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, are seeing their hard work turn to commericial success
With potential applications in the rapidly expanding digital signage market, Graphene is transperent, flexible, conductive, stronger than diamond and made from a sheet of carbon just one atom thick.
We are working on flexible, bendable and transparent displays and
surfaces that could in future be part of flexible phones, tablets, TVs
and solar cells”
The technology is being developed by Finnish phonemaker Nokia, and could cause huge waves in the digitial display market.
“We are working on flexible, bendable and transparent displays and surfaces that could in future be part of flexible phones, tablets, TVs and solar cells,” says Professor Andrea Ferrari of Cambridge University, who is working with Nokia.
