Why is #Graphene useful in electronics?

Graphene has the potential to create the next generation of electronics currently limited to science fiction

 

At only one atom thick, graphene has the potential to provide a solution to the future miniaturisation of electronics

 

Graphene is incredibly thin, flexible and more conductive than copper, making it an ideal material to use in electronics

 

How can graphene be used in electronics?

 

Incorporating graphene into touch screens could prevent common problems like cracked screens

 

60% of users aged over 65 cite usability problems when using smartphones

 

Touch screens that measure pressure applied and correct any errors could make it easier for those who find current touch screens difficult to use

 

Computers with increased power

 

Researchers at The University of Manchester have already created

 

the world's smallest transistor using graphene. The smaller the size of the transistor, the better they perform in circuits

 

Flexible devices such as tablets that can be rolled-up like a newspaper or phones you can wear on your wrist
