Silver and Graphene Combined Make the Next Generation Fully Flexible Device Touch Screens - Say goodbye to cracked glass
Now add a flexi-battery and our phones will be comfortable to sit on again! Sit on it and don't worry about cracking your screen.
From Source:
- Problem
“The reason current touch screen devices are brittle is due to the
use of ITO to make the touch sensors. As this material is brittle, it
needs to be supported with a suitably hard, inflexible substrate [like
glass],” said Matthew Large, PhD., - Solution
By combining silver nanowires and graphene -- a form of carbon
-- a team of UK scientists has made a material that could produce
touchscreens that are stronger and more flexible than those currently
available.
Commentary:
Silver and Graphene combinations(just imagine a 55 inch TV that you buy in a tube/then roll out when you get home) are the future of all electronics for the next many years, so if you still think Silver is a worthless relic from the past you aint't seen nothing yet! GOT SILVER? Calculations/estimates as to how much silver these technologies will consume to follow later this year...

That is freaking awesome!
I agree

thanks staxy
I'm so excited for this! Bring on the flexible battery next pleeeeeease.
yep, still waiting on when they announce 5000+ cycle rechargable silver oxide batteries
This is no longer a new news, however, the technology is still in it's infancy stage
the new news will be when they publish the annual silver tons of oz's consumed for this infancy stage tech
My prophecy is coming true.
One day we will have a mobile phone that won't shatter when dropped from 300 metres above and whose battery will last for more than 7 days of light usage, 5 days of medium usage and 3 days of heavy usage.
@tzcap this is just another step towards the fulfilment of that prophecy
i think your idea is next, but after that the next step is not to have a singular tangible phone period. IOT will have our communication devices built into everything and we wont have to carry anything
With this present generation quest for making life easier, there is nothing we cannot achieve
