Graphene sees your optical fibre network and makes it 100x faster
Researchers at the Centre of Graphene Science at the Universities of Bath and Exeter have demonstrated a 100x improvement in optical-fibre broadband speeds.
Nokia Working on Chargeless Phone
The idea of wireless power transfer is not a new one. Nikola Tesla demonstrated it as a working concept as early as 1893. A few years back researchers at MIT outlined a short-range method in a paper titled “non-radiative mid-range energy transfer”, more recently multiple smartphone manufacturers have already introduced wireless charging pads in to the market (including Nokia) and countless other researches are working wireless energy transfer in the hopes of one day ditching the cord.
Nokia Obtains Graphene Grant
If you haven’t heard of graphene yet then you’re in for a bit of a surprise. Graphene is a material, first discovered in Manchester in 2004, that is so useful it’s been described as “ubiquitous” in application. Graphene is estimated to be between 100x and 300x the strength of steel, making if the strongest material yet discovered, it is the best transmitter of electricity yet discovered, the best transmitter of heat yet discovered, is transparent, is highly resistive to corrosion and even apparently lets nothing other than pure water molecules pass through it, making it potentially the best and most simple water filter yet discovered.
