Nokia starts work with graphene
Forget about diamonds, now graphene is the most durable material in the world. And all the developers already want to "turn it in their hands." Nokia seems to want to be the first in the graphene race. The Finnish handset maker reported today that it had received $ 1.35 billion from the European Union for research on supermaterial over 10 years.
“Nokia is proud of its participation in this project, and we also have a lot of groundwork in this area - for the first time we worked with graphene in 2006,” says Henry Tirri CTO Nokia. “Since then, we have been looking for areas of modern computer technology in which we could apply new material. We have already come a long way, but I am sure that the greatest discoveries are still ahead. ”
In addition, graphene is the strongest substance (300 times stronger than steel) - it also has a number of specific properties. It is also the finest material found by man, only one atom in thickness, and also the lightest. It is made from two-dimensional crystals and looks about like scotch, only infinitely thinner. Graphene is also transparent, conducts electricity better than copper, and bends as it pleases, taking any form.

Using graphene, Nokia will be able to create devices that are incredibly light, durable and less susceptible to overheating.
“We have reached a turning point in working with graphene. We are on the verge of a graphene revolution, ”says Jani Kivioja, research director at Nokia’s research center. “Previously, we discovered a cheap way to produce metal, which led to an industrial revolution. Then there was silicon. It's graphene's turn. ”
