In 2004, two scientists working at the University of Manchester discovered Graphene, a substance that Steve Connor, science editor of the UK's Independent newspaper has called "the scientific find of the century."The Nobel committee agreed and in 2010 Graphene's discovery won the Nobel Prize in Physics.
Graphene, which was originally derived from graphite (found in pencil lead), is a single layer sheet of carbon atoms that has amazing material characteristics. For example, it is the strongest material in the world, more than 100 times stronger than diamond in fact.
It is also completely flexible and highly conductive and likely to revolutionize many industries in the coming decades including electronics, material sciences, and medicine. This article will focus on how this wonder nano-material might change smartphones forever.
