Graphene has been called the strongest material known to man, even though its structure is just one atom thick. Now a group that has Nokia as one of its members has received a huge grant to continue research into Graphene.
The Nokia Conversations blog states that the European Union has invested one billion euros, to the Graphene Flagship Consortium to continue their work on how to use the material. The investment will be spread out over 10 years. Certainly, the idea of using graphene inside a number of future products is inciting. Nokia's support of the Graphene Flagship Consortium could lead to the company using graphene inside a future version of its Windows Phone-based Lumia smartphones.
