New material could make smartphones paper thin

May 21, 2014

This looks like really exciting new technology that could really change not only smartphones but could have endless possibilities!

We鈥檝e been hearing about the potential of graphene in the electronics industry for years. Just last month, Samsung announced that it had discovered a new production method that could bring graphene to commercial products even sooner. Taking advantage of the material鈥檚 flexibility, Samsung believes that flexible displays will be much more than a gimmick in the coming years.

Sadly, we haven鈥檛 yet had the chance to see that potential in action as manufacturers continue to research ways to implement the recently discovered material into phones, tablets and other devices. As graphene hasn鈥檛 yet been used in commercial applications, most of us are entirely unaware of what the 鈥渕iracle material鈥 actually consists of, and why so many companies are spending time and resources on the production of graphene.

The Loop鈥檚 Dave Mark has pointed us in the direction of a video from The One Showon the BBC, which explains graphene in terms that anyone should be able to comprehend. As the show鈥檚 host explains it, graphene is 鈥渟tronger than diamond, more conductive than copper, more flexible than rubber and it鈥檚 so thin you can barely see it with the naked eye.鈥

If you鈥檙e at all interested in what could be one of the landmark discoveries of the 21st century, it鈥檚 worth your time to understand some of the basics of graphene.
