Researchers within the Graphene Flagship project, one of the biggest research initiatives of the European Commission, showed that integrated graphene-based photonic devices offer a unique solution for the next generation of optical communications. Researchers in the initiative have demonstrated how properties of graphene enable ultra-wide bandwidth communications coupled with low power consumption to radically change…
Graphene in Zero G Promises Success in Space
In a successful collaboration between the Graphene Flagship and the European Space Agency, experiments testing graphene for two different space-related applications have shown extremely promising results. Based on these results, the Flagship are continuing to develop graphene devices for use in space. “Graphene as we know has a lot of opportunities. One of them, recognised…

Graphene Flagship Researchers Create Thin Film Transistors Printed with Layered Materials
Graphene Flagship researchers from AMBER at Trinity College Dublin have fabricated printed transistors consisting entirely of layered materials. Published today in the leading journal Science* the team’s findings have the potential to cheaply print a range of electronic devices from solar cells to LEDs with applications from interactive smart food and drug labels to next-generation banknote…
Graphene With Silly Putty Make State-of-the-Art Sensors
Graphene Flagship researchers from Trinity College Dublin in collaboration with the National Graphene Institute (NGI) at The University of Manchester, have used graphene to make the novelty children’s material Silly Putty (polysilicone) conduct electricity. Using this conductive polymer they found that they were able to create extremely sensitive sensors. This research, led by Professor Jonathan Coleman,…
