Graphene

How our life will change

Graphene is the substance that will change many of the devices forever that we use every day as smartphones, robots and wearables.

The characteristics of graphene are unique: it is 200 times stronger than steel and will allow the creation of long-lasting products, furthermore, a sheet of graphene is lighter than a sheet of paper and can therefore be used in any device without weighing it down.

In the last Mobile World Congress held at the beginning of 2018 in Barcelona,   graphene had its own dedicated pavilion.

The various start-ups and the various world producers have presented 25 different prototypes of electronic devices made and improved thanks to the use of graphene:

smartphones, wearables and objects for the smart home.

Many of these devices will soon become the objects we will find

on the market because according to market experts,   the introduction of graphene in devices such as PCs or phones it will be the great innovation of the coming years.
