\"\"<\/a>Scientists at the University of Manchester have come one step closer to creating the next generation of computer chips using wonder material graphene.<\/p>\n

The world\u2019s thinnest, strongest and most conductive material, discovered in 2004 at the University of Manchester by Professor Andre Geim and Professor Kostya Novoselov, has the potential to revolutionize material science. (see: http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Graphene<\/a> for more info on Graphine )<\/p>\n

Its remarkable properties could lead to bendy, touch screen phones and computers, lighter aircraft, wallpaper-thin HD TV sets and superfast internet connections, to name but a few.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This material has the potential to produce solar cells\u00a0that could be\u00a0made on printing\u00a0presses laying extensive areas covered with inexpensive solar cells, much like newspaper presses print newspapers. as well as transparent flexible solarcells.<\/p>\n
