1. The world's first graphene car in Manchester came out

July 22, the world's first use of graphene as a body material car debut in Manchester, by the Briggs car company in Liverpool. The BAC Mono sports car with graphene-added material has passed the road test and will be shown at the National Graphene Research Center in Manchester as part of the City Science Festival on July 22-29. "The graphene car is a good example of how graphene materials can be used to improve the performance of existing products," said James Baker, commercial director of the Manchester National Graphene Research Center.

2. 3D camera sensor

A camera project at the University of Michigan uses a multi-layer translucent graphene sensor to create a 3D view of the scene. Compared to Lytro Illum light field cameras, which require hundreds of microlenses to create views, graphene cameras require only multi-layer sensors. This technology will soon be applied to mobile phones, used to distinguish the colors in the picture, while people can also create a faster, higher resolution video.

3. The world's smallest speaker

In contrast to the physical front-to-back vibration of ordinary loudspeakers, “ACS Applied Materials & Interface” reported a thermoacoustic loudspeaker made with graphene that utilizes the rapid changes in hot and cold heat of ultra-porous graphene-based structures that cause air vibrations Sound. This low-density, large surface area and can create a higher sound pressure level of graphene-based speakers will be expected in mass production.

4. Bicycle frame

British bicycle manufacturer Dassi claimed to have created the world's first graphene-containing bicycle frame, the frame weighs only 750 grams. They claim that in the future with the increase in the amount of graphene, the frame will continue to reduce the weight to 500 grams. The frame is not entirely made of graphene, which is made of a graphene material (containing only 1%) and an epoxy resin mixed together, by a carbon fiber layer on the outer layer.

5. Energy-saving batteries

SkeletonTechnologies has designed a unique process to produce "graphene graphene" through SiC. This graphene is used to make a commercial supercapacitor called "SkelCap". The graphene product allows the car to collect and store its own energy generated during travel, which can save 15% -25% of the fuel energy consumption.

6. Intelligent window

Graphene's transparent appearance, high sensitivity and ultra-low power consumption make it in some ways have an unexpected role - such as motion sensors. Imagine if your window is able to sense daylight or night out to automatically control the opening and closing of indoor curtains; your window can store solar energy during the day and illuminate the room at night; your window can be guided by the direction of your sensor Change the trajectory of the car ...

7. Graphene spectrometer

Graphene can be used to fabricate ultra-thin, high-sensitivity image sensors to detect invisible infrared light. This means that once the graphene-based sensor mass production, then the original value of 20,000 euros CMOS sensor is only 10 euros. Then we ordinary people can also use it to improve the quality of life, such as the detection of fruit ripe or not, the fruit of harmful substances, tires are aging, furniture is really wood products ... ...

8. Faster and stronger swimmers

Italy DirectaPlus company jointly Italy Colmar company in Munich, Germany Sporting Goods Fair (ISPO Munich) released the company's first use of graphene and nanotechnology sportswear. Graphene-containing sportswear compared with the traditional sportswear, the key performance is that it can become the body and the external environment of the filter, to ensure that the wearer can maintain the desired temperature. In addition, the sportswear can also effectively reduce the air and water resistance, improve the flexibility of movement, thereby greatly improving the speed of the athletes.

9. Fall in love with your gloves

the market of Virtual Reality is vast, but there are still some control problems, but if you bring a pair of temperature and action can be perceived small changes in the graphene gloves? Nokia R & D has been working to develop such high-sensitivity gloves, trying to use temperature and small changes in gesture led to surface mount LED lights change. This light and sensitive graphene sensor is also easy to integrate into the clothing.

10. Wearable coupons

When you push the shopping cart through the settlement counter, do not need to line up as it is now scanning two-dimensional code, the wireless system will automatically count your shopping cart items and pricing, and deduct fees from your shopping card, all Will instantly complete, you just get a receipt. The future allows you to enjoy such an easy shopping, it is graphene technology in the application of radio frequency identification.
