Flexible screens that can be folded and stored in your pocket as if they were a sheet of paper. Batteries so durable that we can spend days without worrying about recharging them or the number of applications we have open at the same time. These are just two of the features that mobile phones of the future will have , and we are not talking about a distant future, but rather a period of about 10 years. The person responsible for all of them is graphene, a carbon crystal called to originate an unprecedented revolution in the world of the mobile industry and which is characterized by the fact that its atoms are arranged in a hexagonal shape in a plane.
Companies like the British FlexEnable have already dared to show a prototype that gives a glimpse of this true leap forward. Its graphene terminal wraps around its owner's wrist Chile Mobile Number List and has an LCD screen with all the features imaginable, such as displaying images and broadcasting videos in perfect sound and audio conditions. Another British company, Zap&Go , has already presented a charger made of graphene for mobile phones and tablets that is capable of charging the full battery in five minutes. This is the most likely replacement for lithium ion batteries. The current challenge is to achieve weight reduction and increase power.
The arrival of a new generation of future mobile phones is upon us, a generation that will immediately relegate the current rigid technology. Not only will the features be much greater, but the comfort will be unprecedented. All of this with 'wearable' capacity, that is, it will adapt to our lifestyle and will allow us to dress with it as we do with any other accessory.
Not only mobile phones of the future, also batteries and screens
Until now, mobile phones were made up of various materials. Polymers and aluminum for the casing, lithium for the batteries, glass and others for the screen, fiberglass for the circuit boards. The phones that are yet to arrive will be entirely made of graphene and will have batteries that will charge in five minutes and unbreakable screens . A transformation at every imaginable level.
Graphene is one hundred times more resistant than steel, it is capable of conducting both electricity and heat in better conditions than any other material and it is elastic . It brings together in these characteristics what other materials have separately. This multiplies its applications and there are many companies whose research departments, at this time, are working to surprise clients eager for novelties.
Some data highlight what is at stake around graphene. The number of patents has skyrocketed since, in 2004, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, two Russian professors at the University of Manchester, were able to isolate it. For this they received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010 . Between that remote 2004 and 2014, the number of patents linked to this material went from less than fifty to 9,000. One of the main technology companies and a large smartphone manufacturer, the Korean Samsung , has 490 of these patents, a first place in which it is followed by the Chinese group Oceans King Lighting and the American IBM.
Research into its applications experienced a strong boost in Europe in 2013, when the European Union decided to allocate 1 billion euros for investment in this area over the next 10 years. Places such as the Institute of Graphene Technologies Laboratories, in Italy , or the Graphene Center of the University of Cambridge, in England, lead research in a field that is so promising and that has already found applications in other fields, such as medicine.
