The wonder material Graphene is set to revolutionize the smartphone industry by replacing current touchscreen technology. Graphene is considerably cheaper than the materials used in most modern smartphones. Dr Alan Dalton of the University of Surrey led the investigation into the new material. Working alongside researchers at the University of Dublin, he oversaw the production of hybrid electrodes, the “building blocks of touchscreen technology”, using silver nanowires and graphene. It is a material that can conduct electricity and interpret touch commands whilst still being transparent. The team is currently working with industrial partners to “implement the research into future devices”.
