The dawn of the smartphone transformed the face of personal electronics. Since then, consumers worldwide have endlessly wondered what – and when – the next big innovation in smartphone technology will be.
In recent years, materials science has proven to be paramount in the development of next-generation phones.
New types of high-tech glass, for instance, ushered in a wave of phones with curved and foldable screens.
Similarly, ceramics-based materials like piezoceramics are now being used to make super-small phone speakers, and they have much better sound quality than the ones on the market just a couple of years ago.
Given that graphene is a million times thinner than a human hair, harder than a diamond and more electrically conductive than copper, it is in an excellent position to be investigated and exploited by scientists developing new smartphone technologies.
The time is ripe for graphene to ent
